OUR REGION TOMORROW <br /> <br />What i~ the OUR REGION TOMORROW Study? <br /> <br />The study will be s strategic planning effort representing local <br />governments from as many as eighteen counties. Centralina's <br />eight counties (Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, <br />Rowan, Stanly and Union) will be participating in the Study. Efforts <br />to solicit participation from ten other counties including Alexander, <br />Anson, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, and Cleveland in North Carolina <br />and Chester, Lancaster, Union, and York in South Carolina, the <br />local governments in these counties, and from four other regional <br />Councils (Catawba Regional Planning Council, Isothermal Plan- <br />ning and Economic Development Commission, Pee Dee COG and <br />Western Piedmont COG) ere nearly complete. <br /> <br />Why Is the Study needed? <br /> <br />The eighteen counties have a total population in excess of 1.5 <br />million persons and together form one of the fastest growing <br />regions not only in North Carolina, but in the Southeast United <br />States. Fueling much of this growth is the economic development <br />boom occurring in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. Growth, however, has <br />not been confined to the boundaries of Mecklenburg County. A <br />considerable amount of spillover growth has taken place and will <br />likely continue in the future. <br /> <br />Given the diverse nature of this region, the various municipal <br />jurisdictions have accommodated and addressed the ramifica- <br />tions of growth in different ways. Whereas some localities actively <br />solicit commercial and industrial growth, others prefer to be <br />"bedroom communities" composed primarily of Iow-density resi- <br />dential development. Still other communities which have not yet <br />experienced significant growth, but are likely to in the future, are <br />only now beginning to grapple with these issues. <br /> <br />Growth-related issues do not necessarily recognize political bound- <br />aries. Given the complex nature of this region, it is important that <br />communities come together and jointly assess present and future <br /> <br />/f <br /> <br /> <br />
