  ...
  Velma BoydBoyd answered: "Statements by Mr. Williams that the town will have to restrict its growth to 4 percent annually is not based solely upon ownership of the water and sewer systems.
  ...
  "The Comprehensive Planning Committee," Boyd continued, "was formed at the request of the Board of Commissioners and has been a valuable asset to town planning for prioritizing requests for new development.The Comprehensive Planning Committee reviews all proposed development and annexation requests received by the Planning Department and prioritizes their submission to the Planning Board and/or Board of Commissioners based on the location of the development and (italics, bold in statement) the real public benefit of the development."The following criteria are used to give consideration for location of development," Boyd went on.
  ...
  "The functions of this committee, in my opinion," Boyd concluded, "are to provide prioritized data and input to the Planning Department, Planning Board and Board of Commissioners regarding the appropriateness of proposed development and growth in Wake Forest.Its recommendations may very well temper the overall rate of growth depending on whether or not the development in question is in the overall best interest of the Town of Wake Forest."This candidate does not view this as 'putting a damper' on development but rather a means of providing responsible growth."Boyd has set up a campaign e-mail for the convenience of town residents.
  ...
  Boyd said she has not made any formal fund-raising efforts and does not plan to use more than $3,000.She has $200 in contributions and $200 of her own funds in a campaign account.She said she had been identifying and asking town individuals to help with future events.The extent of her activities, Boyd said, would depend partly on the "intensity of the other candidates' campaign activities."What are the concerns town residents have told the candidates about?Boyd said those concerns "include traffic, rezoning and design standards for commercial and residential development."
