If you build all of these houses, since your taxes received will be higher does that mean a lowering of taxes for the rest of us? The road, emergency services , water & sewer, especially the schools will be taxed to their max. What are you gonna do about that?

The county should follow reasonable development standards and begin to require conditional zoning for large scale developments. Approving this rezoning request simply kicks the can down the road as future residents of this great county will bear the unnecessary costs of such rampant development in unaffiliated rural communities.

Smart growth is needed in Rockingham county. Schools, roads, employment and medical needs are already tied up. This planned development is not conducive to smart growth.

We moved here for the rural aspect of life. Rezoning is taking away farmland and rural life. Everyone dosent need a giant city to live in. We still need farm land and smaller towns. We need infrastructure to change before we even think about rezoning. There’s so much background to do before that thought on top of just knowing we do not need nor want it!

This kind of growth, including the many detrimental effects it will bring, is not right for rural Rockingham County and the way of life we enjoy here. It seems everything in this country is for sale, and we are allowing greed and avarice to become acceptable no matter the costs to our fellow citizens.

I have lived in Rockingham County almost my entire life. I have been deemed disabled due to failed back syndrome and a recent brain bleed stroke, I cannot pay anymore than I am now. My taxes shouldn't go up because a billionaire development comes in and all they see is more billions in their pockets while all of us in this County can't or won't be able to handle more. Do the requested and do the surveys showing the impact this will have on our small community, please

I’m off Griffin Road in Stokesdale and have seen, first hand, the destruction and inconvenience that these communities are imparting on this community/the county. I only wish we had more of a presence to have stopped Jacob’s Creek development. I hope to help Ellisboro before it turns out like over by me.

I was born and raised in Brown Summit. The neighborhood development of Reedy Fork destroyed the culture and way of life that many worked so hard for and cherished. That town is no longer recognizable from the quiet, community focused area that it used to be. It is for those reasons that I left. I fear the same is about to happen now to Madison, and I urge the commissioners not to make the same mistakes. Not to mention that the general contractor that has been mentioned is not known for quality.

This project is too much too soon. Approving this project with the expected density follows the "ready, fire, aim" philosophy, imo. We've had enough of that in this county and can't handle existing needs. It doesn't fit in with our county vision plan.

We already have way too much traffic on Hwy 220/74. Our town police, sheriffs and ambulance can’t even get along with one another how will they accommodate more citizens?
Considering I had a family member pass this year and we had two ambulances waiting with us to remove the body to Anne Penn; the Madison fire department and Rescue squads childish ways made my family member lay there even longer to wait on someone from Cardwell county to transport. Note he was in street clothes. We had transpor

I moved out here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. What is being proposed would more than double the population of Madison. Sardis Church rd is already busy in the mornings trying to get onto 220 and they want to add another 2,000+ people in this sub division. The roads, The Schools, The Grocery stores, The Emergency Personnel are not sufficient to more than double the population overnight.

I moved to rural N. Guilford Co. in 1978 because I didn't want to live in a crowded city. Since then, Greensboro has annexed land within a mile of our home. Now Rockingham is considering rezoning to the north of us to allow dense housing. We're being robbed of the quality of life we expected to have from living in this area. We no longer see stars or enjoy quiet nights; we see a significant increase in traffic between Greensboro & Rockingham daily, & worry about declining water tables. Vote NO.

I oppose this because I don’t want Rockingham County to be like this Highway 68 corridor. We don’t have the reservoirs that Greensboro has. County residents are already being charged more taxes for fewer services than any county north of Asheboro: we can’t pay for the roads and sewers.
