Community Asks for Cooperation From Developers After Efland Station Failure
After the developers for Efland Station withdrew their application earlier this month, Orange County residents and government officials are reflecting on how to better serve the Efland community moving forward. Since the Efland Station application was submitted to Orange County staff in August of 2020, the project had come under scrutiny from residents, who shared concerns about the environmental impact and traffic changes to the Efland community off Interstate 40. On February 5, the applicant chose to withdraw its application after months of community backlash and multiple public hearings with hours of aired grievances.
