County doesn't need gated golf community
On Dec. 13, Guilford commissioners will make an important decision for citizens of this county. They will decide whether to allow almost 700 acres of beautiful hardwood forest to be destroyed for the sake of a private gated golf course community.
The alternative to this rezoning would be a likely sale of this property to the state to enlarge the already existing Haw River State Park. If this issue is new to you, please investigate at http://www.citizensforhawriversp.org/.
For those backing this cause, this is a call to action. As the old sports saying goes, 'It is time to put on your game face." There will be no second chances. This is an urgent matter. There are no losers in enlarging the park.
The property owners will sell to the state at the same price as the developer, local business benefits from increased tourism, and, most importantly, water, land and natural resources are preserved for generations to come.
The two most important things to do is call commissioners and tell them you support the park, and come to the meeting Dec. 13 at 5:30 p.m. at the Old County Courthouse.
