Immediate attention required!
Our fair county has decided to lift a one year moratorium on development in the Wilson Creek area in order to slip in a big land development deal. You can get the full story here. You can email members of the County Board of Commissioners here. Please voice your opinion to leave Wilson Creek undeveloped and stress the importance of outdoor areas for recreation. The future of Caldwell County lies in the outdoor recreation opportunities that are here and are just now beginning to be truly shared with people from outside of our region. We need to allow the developments that are already being built in the nearby Collettsville area to be completed (and their impact assessed) before irrevocably damaging the beautiful Wilson Creek Gorge area! This will be discussed in an upcoming board meeting. I will keep you updated in an effort to rally some vocal opposition to this proposal at the meeting!

Glad to see you bringing this to the attention of our cycling community. I would not only encourage you to write our local leaders, but also encourage your friends to do this as well. This area is one of the real treasures of Caldwell County and Western NC. Once development begins, no matter how they say it will be done, the area will never be the same again. PLEASE PLEASE help spread the word!!!
When is their next meeting?
