This development was opposed by the Board because the <br />extension of utilities to serve it will lead to sprawling residential <br />development. <br />The North Carolina Certified Sites program showcases business locations <br />throughout the state that have undergone a rigorous pre-qualification <br />process to ensure they are "shovel ready" for immediate development. To <br />obtain the Certified Sites designation, communities must undergo a <br />stringent review process that demonstrates that they have addressed 31 <br />prerequisites including: <br />. Business/industrial use designation <br />. Phase I environment audits <br />. Geo-technical studies <br />. Topographical analysis and maps <br />. Aerial photography <br />.
