LINCOLN COUNTY, N.C. — Residents in Lincoln County want commissioners to block plans to build a large subdivision.
Several people showed up to Monday night’s meeting with yellow signs that read: “No to Irongate.”
The proposed development would have nearly 700 homes in the small community north of Stanley.
Neighbors said the plans don’t fit their rural lifestyle. Commissioners decided to delay a vote. They want a recommendation from the planning committee first.
