We oppose six homes per acre because it would turn a rural area into a dense subdivision, overwhelm local schools by potentially doubling or tripling attendance, increase traffic on rural roads, strain fire, EMS, and law enforcement, and shift infrastructure costs to current taxpayers. One acre minimum lots are the responsible alternative.

The area cannot handle the traffic, the water, the security for that many homes. It takes schools, teachers and churches to help raise children, which we do not have.

I think it should stay farm land. Ellisboro is a farming community. Don’t think the roads and schools and also the town of Madison could not handle that.

It will disrupt our way of life. Traffic and noise. We didn’t move here to have 1000 houses down a two lane road with that kind of traffic. Already have school traffic to deal with

This is where my wife and family for generations have lived and took care of and we need to stop these heartless, money hungry developers from coming in and destroying it bringing in more chaos than positive change. We are not fit to handle 3000 to 7000 more ppl in this area. Also, this is why we live here now for the calm countryside!

This need to have better long term planning not just adding the houses without setting up the town first we are in no way ready for this.

We moved to Madison to get away from traffic and enjoy quiet rural life. There aren’t enough resources to accommodate this many houses in such a small area.

We do not need all those houses built. Leave Ellisboro alone. It will cause more issues and stress on others especially our farmers. They have worked day in and day out and worked their tails off to make a living and this would affect them tremendously which is not right at all. it would also be taking the animals habitats from them and that is not ok. How would those wanting to add those houses like their homes taken from them…. They wouldn’t.
Leave things the way they are!!

We do not want to destroy Rockingham County. Development at this level is not sustainable for our citizens. Our quality of life is important. Citizens will leave this beautiful place. It is sad when Guilford County is more attractive than this county. The County and planners need to think out of the box! There has to be a better way. Look at other Regions that are developing successfully. Citizen are taxed to pay for costs for developers to make their money. We are developing food deserts

This is not what this area needs. The infrastructure can’t handle it, we don’t have the space in schools, we don’t have enough emergency services to support it, we don’t have enough grocery stores, Ellisboro Rd is already dangerous enough, the wildlife will have no where to go and be displaced. No one with any sense wants this to happen. The small town appeal of living here would be gone. We don’t want guilford county growth in rockingham county. Don’t want to pay taxes for this mess
