Bill > S37

This bill authorizes Hertford County to establish a Rural Development Authority by amending an existing law that previously only applied to certain counties in North Carolina. Specifically, the bill adds "Hertford" to the list of counties that can create a Rural Development Authority, expanding the geographical scope of the original legislation from 1965. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law, which means it will be implemented as soon as it is signed by the appropriate governmental authority. While the bill itself is brief, it represents an important local government expansion that will potentially allow Hertford County to create an organizational structure designed to support and enhance rural economic development, similar to the opportunities already available to the other listed counties.
