The Alamance County Commissioners held a meeting on May 4, 2026, where key topics included public concerns about a proposed large housing development on Morrill Mill Road, focusing on impacts such as water usage, traffic, and environmental effects. Several residents expressed worries about water quality, well water nitrate contamination, and the strain on local infrastructure and services. Commissioners discussed the challenges of land use planning and zoning, noting the county's current lack of zoning and the complexities of state-level permitting processes.
