No more people in this area! We don’t have the infrastructure to accommodate these communities. We are rural America and farm land is farmland. I have lived all my life and bringing more people to our area makes it not home. DO NOT BRING THIS TO OUR SMALL RURAL COMMUNITY !

To stop a development that would burden to the current residents while benefiting the developer. This planned development is putting the cart before the horse. Get the infrastructure in place first. The intersection of Ellisboro Rd and 220 will become a nightmare, accidents waiting happen.This is in addition to the stated
concerns in the petition.

As a parent of children in RoCo schools and a spouse of a school employee, these schools do not have the capacity to accommodate the already under construction developments; they absolutely CANNOT handle 3,000+ more single family homes.
We don’t have jobs to support these families in the area, we don’t have grocery stores, gas stations, medical services or utility infrastructure to support this rapid growth.

The combined impact of all residential, commercial, and government (new middle school) demand needs to be considered prior to any new approvals.

I am a nurse and traffic and roadway accidents can cause me to be late to work. This hinders caring for my patients.

The amount of homes they are wanting to build in this area is just to many. The population for these homes will overwhelm our roads and the school traffic is already bad. Most people here have farms and have to use this road to travel with tractors.It will cause more accidents with this much congestion.

My parents are Rockingham County natives. Growing up in Cary, I visited this area quite often and thought that it would be nice to live here when I got older- the appreciation of nature and the slower pace of living.
In the next 10 years , I will finally have the opportunity to make Rockingham County my place of retirement. Cary follows a similar 2040 plan, but our council has already let developers take over. It only takes ONE approval to negatively change your future!

Rural land zoned for high density never becomes rural land again. Follow the planning and zoning supported by local government for Dalton Farm.

As a Simpson Road resident, I don’t feel like our local rural area is in any way capable of managing the impacts created by a development involving this many homes. Please consider a more responsible course of development for this property!

This county will not be able to support this project with fire, rescue or police needed with this size population explosion. This county (the taxable residents) cannot pay to make it happen fairly or equitably.
Until this county can afford to have enough fire, rescue and police presence needed, this county should not even consider such a project.

Not good for the rural agricultural community. Will cause even more traffic issues at the intersection of Sardis church and ellisboro.

We are already seeing a massive shift in traffic along gold hill. The mornings at school dropoff coming from sardish church rd are terrible now, adding more traffic will be insane. Any accomodations that will be made for the increase will cause more problems short term during construction of new roads as a result. 220 is already like jumping in the middle of a race at talledaga. Something has to be done. If we all wanted to live in the city we would have moved there first. NO TY
