I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

Do you want industrial waste sited next to a park? What about a hog farm next to a school? Concerned about development in the floodplain? These are the types of activity we can no longer limit because of SB 382.

Know how SB 382 will affect your community? Please get in touch if you have examples. Local governments will need to unite in opposition to overturn any part of this bill.

Zoning changes in Raleigh typically allow for denser, taller developments to encourage more housing. For example the New Bern Ave corridor which was upzoned this year for transit. SB 382 will make it more difficult to manage that growth.
