Hoke and Scotland Counties are facing a water crisis. Much of Hoke County, and Scotland County towns like Wagram and Gibson need more water. Hoke County is currently purchasing water from Fayetteville, but there is a proposal, from influential upstream power brokers with lobbying clout, to restrict the flow of that Cape Fear River water. It’s cheaper for wealthier communities like Fuquay-Varina near Raleigh to support their massive overdevelopment by cutting back our water supply, inhibiting our growth, and forcing water resource development costs downstream to our less affluent counties. Dr. Carter will not sit back and allow it. He has already testified in Raleigh against the upstream diversion of our water supply, fighting to let the water—rather than additional costs—flow our way.” As your next House Representative for District 48, Dr. Carter will be on the front lines to ensure that the overdevelopment by real estate tycoons erecting luxury developments near Raleigh does not use their influence and power to restrict our much-needed water supply.
