## Resource

Alamance County is racing to rein in unchecked growth as subdivisions swallow farmland and strain rural services—no zoning means no control, until now. After last year’s failed Rural Preservation Ordinance, the planning board is reviving the effort to give the county more say over development, balancing property rights with community needs. With neighbors like Chatham showing zoning’s limits under state law, Alamance’s gamble could reshape how rural North Carolina grows—or unravels.
