The Chatham County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to halt most residential development in the county today.
The residential development moratorium could last as long as 12 months and would apply only to new residential subdivisions of 26 or more units. What do you think about this decision?
Chatham Residential Development Moratorium - Cary?
Will the moratorium on building more residential housing in Chatham County be honored by the Town of Cary? If the Town of Cary is not bound by this moratorium, then I hope that the Cary Town Council will adopt a similar moratorium. If not, the moratorium will only accelerate the push by developers to request that the Town of Cary's annex Chatham County Land, so that they can continue building large residential subdivisions. The push for westward development is so strong, that the Town of Cary is straining its resources to manage all of this growth. I would support a moratorium, along with a study of the rapid growth of this area, and whether the Town of Cary is requiring developers to provide adequate infrastructure support such as parks, schools, roads, public safety, etc. in these areas.
