New N C Bill To Be Drafted On Environment
Raleigh AP A joint House Senate environmental committee will introduce new coastal and mountain land use bills when the General Assembly reconvenes this month and scrap the 1973 measures. The aim is to curb irresponsible resort development while giving local governments planning power, with state planners setting guides and a governor appointed panel designating environmentally sensitive areas. The state would issue major development permits while locals handle minor ones, and plans must be adopted within a year or state officials will step in.
