Report from the Legislature

In the waning hours of this year's legislative session, the NC General Assembly passed a bill to create a Uwharrie Regional Resources Commission that will "encourage quality growth and development while preserving the natural resources of the Uwharrie region of North Carolina." 

                                               

The Uwharrie Commission is an advisory group with a broad scope and no regulatory authority.  It is very different from the Yadkin River Trust bill that was defeated last year.

                                               

Efforts during the legislative session to resurrect the Yadkin River Trust legislation were unsuccessful. 

                                               

Thank you to all those who supported us during this legislative session as we worked to prevent a government takeover of our property.
