Excerpt from Edgecombe County, N. C: Land Use and Potential Study In February, 1966, the Edgecombe County Board of Commissioners contracted with the Division of Community Planning, North Carolina Department of Conservation and Development. The primary purpose of this contract is to develop a planning program which will outline policy goals and objectives for the Edgecombe community. The Commissioners realized that firm planning guidelines were needed in Edgecombe County to prevent poor land development and to encourage the social and physical growth. They established the Edgecombe County Planning Board. This lay body is composed of five citizens from the county. They are charged with formulating recommendations on planning matters for the county Commissioners. The scope of the Planning Board's interest is far reaching and they may make recommendations on all matters which pertain to the physical development of Edgecombe County. It is not the intent of the planning program to inhibit growth within the area but it is the hope of the Commissioners that the program will encourage orderly and creative development in terms of population, economy, industrial and agricultural potential.
