Dear Neighbors,
Thank you all for staying engaged and for doing your part. The strength of our community is in our voices and our actions.
We’re sending an urgent heads‑up: tonight, County officials are meeting to set important agendas and we want Owens Glen to be on the forefront of their minds.
Watch our latest new piece on Fox Carolina here.
Our petition is now over 900 signatures strong. The County must hear us. What we need you to do today:
Send a respectful but firm email to all the contacts listed below, expressing that you oppose the Owens Glen subdivision in its current or resurrected form, you believe it violates the Comprehensive Plan and the Piedmont Area Plan, and that the infrastructure simply cannot support it.
Call as many of the listed County Council / Planning Commission contacts as you can. Leave a message if you reach voicemail: “I’m calling about Owens Glen in Piedmont. I oppose any revival of the 2024/2025 plan and expect the County to protect our rural area.”
Share this email with other signers / neighbors who may not yet be aware. Ask them to send emails and calls tonight.
