Protecting Holly Ridge’s Long-Term Stability

Public-record analysis of annexation proposals, long-term development agreements, infrastructure capacity, and environmental review in Holly Ridge.

Before Approval, Key Questions Require Clear Answers

Water Capacity

Can current groundwater and municipal systems sustainably support projected long-term demand without risk to existing residents?

50-Year Development Terms

What commitments become fixed once approved, and what flexibility is limited for future councils?

Infrastructure & Cost Burden

How are long-term infrastructure expansion costs allocated over time?

Known Contamination & Environmental Testing

What environmental due diligence has been completed regarding publicly documented contamination sites within or near the proposed annexation area?

Pipeline Construction Site

These Decisions Carry Long-Term Implications for Property Owners

Major annexation and development agreements shape infrastructure, governance, and fiscal conditions for decades.

• Long-term development agreements are difficult to amend once executed.

• Water capacity decisions affect existing neighborhoods and long-term service reliability.

• Infrastructure expansion influences fiscal structure and future obligations.

• Public participation is part of the statutory approval process.

CORE ISSUES

LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

Evaluating the structure, duration, and safeguards of the proposed 50-year agreement to assess long-term fiscal impact, infrastructure capacity, and future council oversight.

GROUNDWATER & DRINKING WATER

Reviewing groundwater reliance, regional water sourcing, and system capacity to determine whether long-term demand can be supported without strain to existing residents.

KNOWN & LEGACY CONTAMINATION SITES

Documenting publicly recorded contamination sites, landfills, and military-related environmental areas within and near the annexation boundary that warrant consideration in long-term planning decisions.
