Early Development Application Notification to Seymour Johnson AFB
Consider adopting an amendment to the NC General Statute Section 153A-
323(b) to require early notification to Seymour Johnson AFB of development
applications rather than at the public hearing stage. Consider incorporating a
process to fast-track the permitting of wind energy facilities where development is
not detrimental to the military mission and where it can be accomplished through
coordination with the military as recommended in Strategy LEG-1A.
