Rowan County does not need the kind of growth that Cabarrus County has received. Do we really want the traffic that has came to the Concord area?

These developers pump houses and people into our area but do not develop the infrastructure to sustain what they have started.

Look at our farms and small communities disappearing. I, for one, don’t want to be a part of the suburbanites living in cookie-cutter subdivisions and driving minivans.

I say keep Rowan County rural.

Once we lose our green spaces, they never come back. I believe we can have enough tax base from the industry that has come into the county without residential development.
