Abstract:
Local boundary changes can be realized in five different manners: annexation, incorporation, merger/consolidation, secessions, and special district formations. To understand the complexities of these changes and effects on taxes, government representation, and school districting the authors analyzed boundary shifts within Brunswick County from between 1990-2010. Brunswick County is the subject of this study because of its rapid population increase and frequency of local boundary changes during this period.
