Southern Moore County map

"Southern Moore County Case Study," April, 2005.

Since this study was conducted, grass-roots groups in southern Moore County - representing excluded minority communities - have obtained municipal services and increased awareness of their plight. The Jackson Hamlet neighborhood's advocacy led the town of Pinehurst to provide street lights and water and sewer services, and to pursue annexation of the community, which would allow residents to receive additional municipal services and vote in local elections. Several other neighborhoods have had similar successes, while a few are still struggling.
