Summary
A massive 440-acre farm in Alamance County is poised for transformation into over 500 homes, sparking fierce local resistance. Purchased for $6.5 million, the Morrow farm site has neighbors alarmed by traffic, flooding, and the loss of rural character. With no county zoning laws, developers face minimal local hurdles—state agencies now hold the keys to approvals for roads, water, and sewage. While developers tout thoughtful design and regional growth, residents demand stronger protections, fearing this is just the first of many developments that could irrevocably alter their community.
