This land needs to remain agricultural and not have houses all over it.

We left Guilford county last year to escape the insane taxes, traffic, noise and crime. Look at Greensboro today, just one day after police and criminals exchanged gunfire in the most popular area of downtown during daylight hours. Do we want that creeping into quiet Rockingham county? Do we want our taxes raised so developers can profit from our hard earned money? The answer is NO. No massive high density developments. No data centers.

The 2040 plan designated this land for agriculture for the next 25 years and commisioners should not be allowed to break this. The schools wont be able to absorb the children in that many homes and they're already overcrowded. It should also stay at 1 house per acre not 4 per acre. This is for money only not for the people!

Too much traffic, lacking infrastructure. This would put an unsafe strain on the fire police and education resources in this area. Additionally, the streets around this neighborhood would be completely overrun by the number of vehicles this would bring in.

I’m all for growth of the community. However, D.R. Horton homes are some of the worst built homes out there. They throw them up cheap and pack them in like sardines. This area deserves much more than that. This area needs a stronger infrastructure to support more people. The schools in the area are not built for such a huge influx in students. As a former teacher, this type of growth without proper planning will drown the schools and teachers. Students will be the ones to suffer the most from.

Water and sewer infrastructure not available to home owners without enormous expense water table will be under stress for people on well and septic . Noise and pollution level on Ellisboro is at an unhealthy level now .

This development would greatly tax all of our local resources, and we would be remiss to allow such unbridled construction.

I live in Stokesdale and I have seen what is happening here. I lived in Madison for 10 years and certainly do not want the over population to happen there. I understand but the infrastructure is very inadequate for such fast growth. Plus we love the country & that is why I still live here. Was in Greensboro 10 years and could not wait to move home to the farm. Thank you!

Rural land is disappearing and tract homes development does not care about the environment, culture or climate of the area.

I do not want to see Rockingham County exploited as "bedroom county," providing housing for people who work and shop in neighboring counties, while betraying long-time residents and the treasure of our farms and fields which define this county. The Almighty Dollar is NOT what matters most! Our message must be that Rockingham County is not for sale!

Too many people in one small town rural area. No infrastructure in place to handle this many people. Not even following own current development plan.

This proposal has not been thoroughly researched. Our infrastructure is not equipped to handle such an increase not to mention the destruction of natural habitat that’s already disappearing at an alarming rate.

Firstly, Our children are the future, overcrowded schools will impede the teaching/learning process at a time that struggles to keep teachers & bus drivers. In addition, where to house those children? Current schools do not have the capacity so our tax dollars will be paying for alternative classrooms. Secondly, we house the additional families but have little to offer them to keep there money in our county. Thirdly, the traffic will be a huge issue as will road repairs. Many more concerns!

I don’t think anyone’s opposed to building some houses in Rockingham County, I think people are opposed to high density developments that will overrun the resources of the county as is they currently stand. How much can the infrastructure support? Once one of these monstrosities become reality the developers won’t stop. If this is allowed, when will enough be enough? Will Rockingham County turn into Brooklyn -Queens, New York with people living several feet away from each other‘s homes.

To many houses per acre. They should only have 1 house per acre minimum.
