K. OPEN SPACE
Each year, out-of-control development and urban sprawl eat away at the natural beauty of North Carolina.
Our state government has promised to save one million acres of open space.
- The state should protect the funding of our four natural resource trust funds.
- The state should create a permanent, dedicated source of funding for open-space preservation.
- The state should add to existing tax incentives for preservation and should increase penalties for irresponsible development.
