The Cullowhee area is known for its mountainous beauty, not its yearly brick tonnage, said Cullowhee resident Mark Jamison, who was formerly chairman of Jackson County's Smart Growth Task Force and was also a member of the Jackson County Planning Board at one time.
"The idea of creating ‘silicon holler' or an academic Pigeon Forge might be attractive to some, but there ought to be at least some serious soul searching done before we impose this kind of growth on such an environmentally and culturally sensitive area," Jamison said.
In the end, the situation is like wrestling an 800-pound gorilla: he's going to do what he wants to do, Jamison said, despite its context within the community. -

- Smart Growth Task Force Chairman Mark Jamison presented the board with a subdivision ordinance draft, which he said "still needs some work and lots of citizen input."He requested not only that commissioners review the document, but that the county attorney, county manager, building inspections and mapping department heads, and the register of deeds all provide feedback.
The ordinance should also be given to the health department, emergency management, the N.C. Department of Transportation and the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority board for review, Jamison suggested.
Public meetings at various locations around the county should be scheduled to allow for ample citizen input, he said.
"The development of a broad base of public understanding, acceptance and support will be critical in assuring the success of the proposed Jackson County subdivision regulations," Jamison wrote in a memo to the board.
