Annexation in North Carolina

In and around Pinehurst, poor communities are asking to be annexed by the wealthier town, while in other parts of the state, notably around Cary, residents resist annexation. Host Melinda Penkava talks with guests about the lines that separate town and county, and the debates surrounding North Carolina’s annexation laws. Guests include: Allan Parnell, vice president of Cedar Grove Institute for Sustainable Communities; Ellis Hankins, executive director of the North Carolina League of Municipalities; and Ron Thoreson, Chairman of Stop NC Annexation.
