Abstract:
While local governments are making efforts to create more inclusive social policies, little is known about what these policies are and how they are developed. To better understand municipal immigrant integration practices, my Master’s Thesis, Building Integrated Communities: Innovative Bureaucratic Incorporation Strategies for North Carolina, completed in May 2012 examined integration using two methods: 1) analyzing strategies local jurisdictions employ across the country to integrate immigrants and 2) presenting a case study to better understand the contextual, structural, and institutional factors of a two-year strategic planning process to develop an immigrant integration plan in three local jurisdictions in North Carolina, a new immigrant destination. From this analysis, I gleaned practical recommendations for other local governments interested in developing similar immigrant integration initiatives that will be discussed in this article.

Abstract:
In October, 1979, the North Carolina Supreme Court handed down a decision on one of the most significant land-use planning cases in the State. Among the planning-law issues to be decided by the Court in A-S-P Associates versus Raleigh were the validity of historic district zoning, contextual standards for administrative issuance of permits, spot-zoning, validity of overlapping zoning districts, and the comprehensive-plan requirement. The decision represented a major victory for the historic preservation movement in the State, as North Carolina became the first southeastern state to affirm the constitutional validity of historic preservation.

Abandonment and neglect are destroying the well-built farmhouses vital to North Carolina's rural heritage and landscape; in these actions, history is lost and valuable housing stock is wasted. But there are possibilities of a brighter future for old homeplaces. One is the increasing number of people moving back to rural areas of North Carolina and these buildings also offer attractive places for preservation initiatives.
