As a farmer/landowner/, I am 100% against this tight compounded housing. If you set a 20 acre tract minimum, then that is much more manageable for the community as well as more able to swallow. But this proposal would be absolutely foolish, with no infrastructure to support it. Because other foolish people have made poor decisions, does not mean we should follow!!

No farms no food! More housing is the LAST thing we need.

We need more farm lands not more houses, this is not Greensboro! We are Rockingham County!! “County” not a city! And we already have developments on 65, and more on Grffin rd in the Bethany community so I think we need to rezone. And if it doesn’t happen, we need to elect people in these positions to stop this from happening in the future. We don’t make land anymore, what’s here is all we got!!

Too much growth with no planning or upgrade of infrastructures.

Existing residents will be forced to bear the costs of upgrading infrastructure to support this. Traffic and runoff will impact many and there is currently nothing to support this. I moved to Madison to enjoy rural life. I own land and increasing the population concentration to this magnitude will ruin our way of life.

20 year resident, the growth of these projects are unrealistically sized, unsupported by the infrastructure and unsupported by the community.

My family has recently purchased acreage in Rockingham County with the ultimate goal of leaving the urbanization of another NC county. I grew up in what used to be considered a more rural area of our current county, and I have seen the effects of overdevelopment on agriculture, the roadways, the school system, etc. At the very least, a deep dive into the effects of this type of development should be looked at very closely. The current infrastructure in the area CANNOT sustain 2-4 homes per acre.

This is imported to me because I live in Madison and this is a bad idea for our community. I have property on the creek that will be affected and can’t afford the flooding as will eventually come. This is along with all the community concerns of roadways and all infrastructure that will be affected.

Our city, our county is not prepared to have that many more homes build. Schools, roads, etc would need to improve to bring that many families here. We're a small town and would like to stay that way. We're not greensboro and don't want to be busy and packed like greensboro.

I live in Mayodan, for the developers to build a community of 1100 homes is outrageous. The amount of traffic and congestion it will create not to mention the extra burden on our schools, Fire, police etc we just don’t have the capacity to handle it… I moved to Mayodan from Long Island which many years ago was all potato farms. Today it’s nothing but houses and commercial businesses with lots of traffic… Keep Rockingham Rural..

Not sure...but it sounds like a developer with no stake in our county with a get rich quick scheme.

Farmland was our beginning. When trees come down and land is turned in to houses the air we breathe is changed. I travel that are and I enjoy the country roads because of less traffic than the highway has. Ellisboro Rd and the intersection at Sardis Church is already impacted from traffic. Someone needs to look at the big picture for two years from now, take off your dollar sign glasses.

I moved to the country to get away from the big city growth, chaos and dealing with what comes with over population. We need to stand together to maintain the country community.

Have friends and family in the area. Need to maintain farm area to survive. Do not need that many houses that close together and creating problems for people who have lived their entire lives in this community.
Need to keep rural areas rural
