Appendix 6: Community Input Summary <br /> The involvement of the community in the creation of the Morehead West Area Plan was crucial. Through the <br /> thoughtful input of citizens,business owners,property owners,and other stakeholders, a vision for the future of the <br /> area emerged. The Plan communicates their expectations,providing the guidance needed to inform Town and <br /> County leaders'decisions pertaining to land use,conservation,and investments in infrastructure and services to <br /> support desired development. <br /> The following summarizes the mechanisms employed to obtain input as well as some of the results of each. <br /> Stakeholders Interviews <br /> Early in the planning process,the project team held interviews with small groups of people who,because of their <br /> knowledge of the existing conditions or direct experience working with relevant information,could speak to the very <br /> specific issues and opportunities of the area. In combination with a review of data and tours of the study area,the <br /> project team utilized input to verify and further synthesize data. A total of 46 people attended the interviews,which <br /> were held over a period of two days. The interview topics included neighborhoods;transportation;open space, <br /> environment,and parks and recreation;utilities;real estate,development,and land ownership;business and <br /> economic development. Consistent themes across all interviews included the following: <br /> • Quality—The quality of future development is as important as the type of development. <br /> • Jobs—More jobs are needed in Harrisburg to increase in-town employment opportunities for residents; <br /> shift commuting patterns and reduce traffic issues with a reduction in commuting;and provide more <br /> daytime population to support the retail and restaurant uses desired. <br /> • Housing—More housing suitable for people over 55 should be available in the future. <br /> • Environment—Conservation of valuable natural features is important. <br /> • Traffic—Traffic issues need to be addressed,particularly on NC-49 and Morehead Road,with <br /> improvements that include the extension of Caldwell Road to US-29. <br /> • Recreation—Trails and passive recreation should be part of the recreation options in the area. <br /> • Entertainment—Dining and family-oriented entertainment should be components of the land use mix. <br /> A complete list of interviewees organized by topic is available through the Town's Planning and Zoning <br /> Department upon request. <br /> 701 Morehead West Area Plan <br /> Attachment number 2\n <br /> G-2 Page 212 <br />
