Goal
3: North Carolina will preserve and enhance the quality
of rural and urban life.
While
the state's growing population aids economic vitality,
it also challenges policy makers to control urban sprawl.
Today that sprawl is gobbling farm and forest land,
generating unhealthy air, and increasing gasoline consumption.
Some of the development is occurring in sensitive natural
areas.
