[Durham INC] The ghost of Durham's Future?

Melissa--
Really interesting and apt article. It's shocking how much is being 
bulldozed and paved and built on, especially in South Durham. This 
article is a warning about the flip side of the "expanding the tax base" 
coin . . . . We're already dealing w/costs for cleaning up Jordan Lake 
because of poor decisions and deferred investment at the beginning . . . 
. the article warns of the longer-term tax drain of poorly regulated 
investment.

Best,
Kelly
