Abstract:
One of Brunswick County's fastest growing areas is along the N.C. 211 corridor, where over 22,000 single-family and multi-family home permits have been issued since 1999. Such growth threatens the Lockwood Folly River and nearby wetlands and marshes. Smith discusses how a number of groups, including concerned citizens, county officials, state and federal agencies, and environmentalists, are working to preserve the river and surrounding areas.
