2: <br />A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE EFLAND AREA STUDY <br />What is the Efland Area Study? <br />The Efland Area Study is an attempt to pull together community <br />residents, organizations and county planners to try and take a look <br />at the future of .Efland, and develop specific plans designed to <br />reflect community services, needs and development patterns over the <br />next 20 years. <br />Why is it being conducted? <br />The Efland Area Study is a direct result of concerns expressed by <br />Efland residents in 1988 about the future of their community. These <br />concerns from Efland citizens prompted the County Planning Board in <br />1989 to call for an Area Study to help define needed planning for <br />the future of Efland - with citizen involvement. <br />What will the area study involve? <br />Four meetings between July and November are to be scheduled with <br />the Efland community. These meetings are designed to allow citizen <br />input into drafting a community -wide plan addressing the concerns <br />and needs of Efland. <br />What will be the end - result? <br />A plan for Efland, recommending strategies for the community's <br />character, and service and facility needs for the next 20 years. <br />One such strategy might consider how Efland should grow (should <br />Efland become a Town or a suburb); and how the future growth of the <br />village can be coordinated with the surrounding environment (man- <br />made and natural). <br />What can I do to help? <br />For starters, please fill out the questionnaire to be handed out <br />tonight by July 31. This will help us get a feel for what elements <br />you think are important for the Efland Area Study. <br />Your input is always welcome in the Efland Area Study! We want the <br />plan that comes out of this to be YOUR PLAN. Therefore, please feel <br />free to call the Planning Department at any time (732 -8181 or 229 - <br />2031). Ask for David Stancil (Extension 2590) or Emily Crudup <br />(Extension 2580). We'll be glad to hear from you. <br />Your Cheeks Townshi Advisory Council will be the lead community <br />group in coordinating this study. Please get to know your neighbors <br />on this council - chances are you already do! <br />The next Efland community meeting will be THURSDAY AUGUST 23, when <br />we will present questionnaire results and an in -depth look at other <br />data as we seek to learn more about the community of Efland: <br />
