Abstract
  • Avery County, located in the northwestern mountains of North Carolina, has undergone significant changes in land use and economic development over the past twenty-five years. Like many counties in the mountain region, Avery County is stridently independent and has been reluctant to embrace land use planning and regulation. But more recently, attitudes toward managing growth and its impacts on the community have begun to change. This article describes the pilot growth management effort now taking shape in Avery County.
