We live in the Huntsville district and it is not ready for that many people at this time. Traffic on 220 already sucks. Maybe once they change 220 to 73, among many other changes it will be ready for more housing.

We live in Rockingham County because of the way it IS, not because we want it to be like bigger cities with more people living inches apart.

This county is a poor county. We don't have enough resources as it is. Concentrate on the homes and people already here

Because they destroyed our community on Baker Crossroad and we had no chance to oppose it. Now we have a large supposedly cattle building facing our house with huge bright lights. I suggest, vote them all OUT.

Why are our Commissioners always in such a hurry to favor overnight growth with little to no thought on the impact.

This is farmland. We don't need all these houses taking away the beauty of God's creation. There will be too much traffic on our back roads. Especially getting onto Hwy 220. We are a small community. Where are all these people coming from? They need to move to the city they work in. Build somewhere else, not here.

This rezoning request to permit high density housing will set an awful precedent for all residents of Rockingham County increasing property tax rates across the county! This is not just an Ellisboro community issue!

It’s all about the money. People who live in Rockingham County want to live in the country. We love the small town feel. We don’t want to live in area full of cheap crap houses. The county commissioners work for US the people of Rockingham county something they seem to forget. Also our schools are already struggling with providing quality education. They are understaffed and overworked. Most of all the schools in the county are old as the hills. We will remember when it’s time for re election

Local infrastructure can not support this new development. We would be forced to move out of Madison if this is approved. Our road is a connector to town and would cause even more traffic than the redesign of Ellisboro and 220 North we have already experienced.

Rezonig this land for high density development is out of keeping with the way of life of the people who already live here.
