The traffic would be a nightmare. The turn around u turn spots are dangerous,its hard to get on 220 off side streets now with the traffic. There are hundreds of people who travel these roads from va. Also that aren't even factored into all this. This is country. And we would like to keep a little of that as im sure that's why most people live here. You can't fill every square inch of land with a house or a business without a plan,so what is the plan to accommodate the extra?

We do not have essential infrastructure, public safety, schools, etc. to support this kind of massive concentration of homes in the area. Further, no one wants that kind of growth in that short period of time. It does not fit any comprehensive plan for the Madison/Ellisboro area.

It's important that the voice of Western Rockingham County can be heard. The cou ty needs to listen to the will of "We the People ". Not "We the rich or the elected, or the I said so elected officials ".

Too many homes....not enough space or natural resources. Infrastructure would be stretched thin and you can only put so many people in this county.

It's way too much. We need to keep what farm land we have God's not making any more. I could say so much more ....NO ..... and for growth we have empty mills and factories that could have new life breathed into them . There's ya growth. The people of Rockingham County is what should matter. Enough is Enough.

There are not enough restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, nor enough room in our school systems to handle any more homes being built in Rockingham county. Build the Casino instead this will benefit madison area better and bring in revenue. Plus there are no jobs no money no farming no textile in this area any more. This area is poor. Let the people here have the jobs that are coming to the area I stead of building homes for people to relocate to this area.

We have serious concerns regarding whether the existing roads, emergency services, infrastructure, and surrounding environment can safely support additional high-density residential development. Traffic also increases considerably during the summer months because of recreational activity associated with Belews Lake. Adding hundreds of additional daily vehicle trips from new housing developments would further increase congestion and the likelihood of crashes.

We live right off Sardis church and Ellisboro rd and that 4 way stop is already a nightmare with the amount of traffic it handles and amount of people who don’t know who to use stop at a 4 way stop. Plus the fire department stays on the run now with calls, how are they or the sheriff department going to handle that many more people and calls.
