Before adding thousands of new homes, I would like to see more consideration given to investing in the housing we already have—purchasing and renovating vacant or deteriorating homes and strengthening our existing neighborhoods. Growth doesn’t always have to mean replacing farmland with new subdivisions.

We are not opposed to change - but change of this magnitude needs to be intentional and well thought out. We don't have the roads or infrastructure to support this proposal at this time

To save our rural community. The infrastructure is not in place to support this much growth, traffic, class size, water usage.

This is too big of a decision without community input and more reviews of how it will affect schools, roads, police, fire and so many other aspects of this community.

-Lack of necessary infrastructure
-Make the lots larger and if you build build nicer homes.
-This is a community of people that care about the quality of their lives and neighbors…not a bedroom community for people to buy cheaper housing and work in a larger city.
-This is not well planned growth, but just taking advantage of lower land costs and higher profits at the cost of the local community.

Can you imagine 40+ cars at the stop sign of Sardis church and 220? It would take and hour to get out of there I. The morning when school is on. Ellisboro road is the same. You have A lot of farm equipment, kids riding 4 wheelers and dirt bikes, and the traffic at Sardis and ellisboro would be another huge issue. I don’t want to pay for the infrastructure so this company can make all there money off of it. Let them pay for it. There are s lot more reasons than this but I’m going to give everyone

Too much traffic, will make my taxes go up again, schools can’t handle that many if each home has children. Fire department would need to be updated. Roads would deteriorate sooner from all the traffic

This zoning needs to be thought out more thoughtfully. If homes are to be built, it needs to be more like the rural area that this city is…more land and less homes. Most people live here bc it isn’t a big city or a large sub division. Build it down on 220 near Stokesdale/Guilford line.

We need more farms we are not a rural county for no reason we don’t need more trees and farmland taken out for homes ,solar farms, or data centers and other things of the sort including casinos we have enough going on as it is with taxes being hiked up and everything else going on this doesn’t just effect one little part of Rockingham county this effects the whole county
It’s in my community
We don't want it
They are trying to take away the natural beauty.
