Well there goes another town but that is what our nice government wants. They can’t control the crime rate in Raleigh So now they want to expand it to small communities the hell with what North Carolina once was A farming state a state of where if U were passing thou an had trouble someone may help u Now no 1 wants that everybody wants to take an take . These people that moved from were ever that come from need to go back just leave NC as. It was we are not New York are California.
It’s up to the citizens of their local jurisdiction to get involved in passing legislation to limit growth, and to provide protections to home and landowners in freezing costs and taxes. Voting has consequences.
It’s not that. The local people have been vocal about the over development in the triangle area. We are voting. But nothing is working. This Disney neighborhood isn’t near me but not far. It’s the same problem though for the Pitsboro area as with the south Granville county area. Too many homes going on the same ground water source. Long time residents, generational residents, have had their wells run dry. Their only water source. Down the road, new developments with community wells, have pulled from surrounding aquifers. Other new developments have the homes having to dig their own wells. Across the street from me, a developer got approval to put 100 homes on 198 acres. This is phase 1. They bought the 500 acre parcel from our neighbor who moved out of state. We figured that wouldn’t happen because most of that land doesn’t perc. It’s on a small mountain and it’s rocky. Wells will have to go at least 1000ft or more to hit water and that’s around the lower area. As they go up, it’s all rock, and they will really have to go deep to hit water. And I doubt any of those lots will perc. Many of us when to the planning board meetings and the county board meetings. The main concern was the water running out, and the contaminated water the SGWSA water utility seemed to continue to refuse to address. People will just say if you don’t like it move. Well no one is going to buy your home if there is NO WATER SOURCE. They really don’t even have a chance to get into the gentrification part that will raise their taxes. Disney hasn’t had to deal with this situation yet but they might not have a lot of buyers if there is a chance that overdevelopment could dry up the water source. Even using a water utility. When we have a drought, those lakes and resevoirs drop . With all these new homes sucking on them, they will really dry up.
During the approval process of the original development the promises made to Pittsboro and Chatham Co. we’re later broken by reducing protections such as tree cover to be saved, environment al concerns for runoff and abutting Haw River, etc.
Disney, will not only exacerbate such concerns, it will kill Pittsboro’s small-town ambience, which has already begun with population flocking in and attendant high-rise apartment buildings.
Unfortunately, all the governmental agencies for town & county can see are tax dollars associated with growth and Disney.

Disney is horrible now! I feel sorry for them. I really do think if I had little children today, it would be best if they didn’t know anything Disney
