the town has been doing a "revitalization" in that general area. We
suspect that they are trying to drive us out, because of the land being
right outside of the current town limits. Also another factor is that
my uncle and his wife are the town manager and chief administrator,
respectively, and they are upset that pops left those few cows to us,
instead of all to them & theirs. So we have had no help on the local
government level.


Bells ringing. We may have an answer here. Which developer is cozy with
your uncle and his wife, and wants you out?

Which one isn't? Will have to check it out. There are a few different
contractors working in the general area. They are trying to *build up* the
town. On the next ballot is to allow liquor by the drink to attract more
restaurants, and on the agenda at the town meetings for the last few and
the next few up-coming months, is how to get the down-town churches to
*move* from down-town. Even one church that has been there since before
the town was a *town*. They think that if the churches move out, then
businesses will be more attracted to the area, and more revenue will come
in from the downtown. They want to make roseboro compete with likes of
wilmington, raleigh, and fayetteville.


You would be wise to find yourself a good lawyer who's not in bed with any
of your locals, even if it means he/she is very far away.

And, are you afraid to pick up the phone and call your state legislators,
attorney general's office, etc? Your original message was posed at 8:37 this
morning, and you haven't mentioned talking to anyone with any power. How
about the environmental agency? What did they say about "you don't have the
right to see the environmental impact statement"?

Oh..you haven't called them yet? Why not?
