There should be serious thought going into any rezoning of a large tract of land with all of the impacts thought about and the concerns addressed before such a request is voted on. Doing anything in haste will likely result in repercussions down the line that will harm the beautiful area and the residents of Rockingham County.

I'm against developers in rural counties building large housing sites on farmland without proper studies, preparation, and community meetings on the environmental and financial effects that would occur.

Destroys our simple relaxing quiet neighborhood with congestion and a huge influx of people. No thank you.

Event though I am a REALTOR I believe in the small town feel. This is exactly why I moved to Stokesdale. I believe we need to preserve the farmers way of life and our kids need to be able to grow up in a small town and to enjoy the outdoors. I believe if possible that the county could start a go fund me and purchase such land and make it public hunting land etc..

As a new resident of Rockingham County and as a plumbing contractor. I recognize that we don't need this big city type of development.

This is too dense of a plan for housing, this is not in a city, but rural area!

We need to keep our farming community. We don’t have facilities to serve a large number of new residents.

This is so important to our community because we want to keep the good integrity of this farm community and keep these people safe. This new development would put even more strain on the already over crowded school. This would create a larger number of emergencies and the county already has a hard time getting to these emergencies now. I live 2 mins from the fire department and it still took them 15 mins to get to me when a fire broke out. And this is before any ground has even been broken.

I live on Ellisboro Road and moved here in 1991 to escape the overcrowding and traffic. Unchecked growth in our region threatens our shared quality of life and imposes unsustainable burdens on our existing rural infrastructure. We have enough housing developments in this area already.

Because it’s for near my community and Wentworth and we could look forward to some of the same problems of congestion with schools and roads and so forth

The county commissioners are only seeing tax revenues and not what it will cost the citizens to build these homes.

I grew up in the area and return there occasionally and this would be devastating to families and the systems in place to protect them.

County needs to stop redistricting everything and selling it all. They need to stop trying to build this town and start worrying about keeping the people who have been here the longest happy and satisfied. Government already has way too much overreach. It needs to be stopped.
