Corolla Incorporation

Questions that should have been answered by Currituck County’s Commissioners before they endorsed the incorporation of Corolla.
I wonder how many of these items were even considered by the 3 affirmative votes as being of any importance to the citizens of Currituck as a whole?

Have you honored the request to meet with the citizens opposed to incorporation?

Have all of the absentee homeowners been informed of the incorporation referendum?

Will you be entering into a revenue sharing agreement with the town of Corolla? If so, what will it consist of and what taxes will be raised to offset it, or what services will be cut? We do have a need for schools and other capital projects.

If Corolla gets zoning powers will they be able to stop the mid-county bridge? If so, what will you tell the citizens in lower Currituck and all of the many people who have worked so hard on this project?

Will Corolla have jurisdiction over the many duck hunting blinds that will be within their town limits?

Will they, as a town, be able to declare the public roads within Whalehead private, thus closing 5 of the 7 public beach accesses? Remember, they sued the county and state previously to do just that.

Will the town of Corolla have the authority to declare a building moratorium, thus closing down one of Currituck’s largest employment opportunities?

In the future, will the town of Corolla be able to annex Carova when it needs more revenue?

Will this board sell the county’s assets at fair market value or will it deed county property to the town of Corolla? Will this board still sell the county’s 10 acres and put the proceeds to the recreation/senior center as mentioned by the previous board?

Will Corolla have the power to stop the citizens of Currituck from driving on Carova’s beaches?

Will they, as a town, demand the building of a school or schools at Currituck County’s citizens’ expense?

How much sales tax revenue will the county lose if Corolla incorporates?

Since the incorporation of Corolla will impact all of Currituck County, shouldn’t the right for incorporation be presented in a referendum to all citizens of Currituck?

Remember, a vote against Currituck unification was not a vote FOR Corolla to incorporate.
