GOLDSBORO PHASE XI ANNEXATION
Buck Swamp Annexation Area
|
|
The City annexed the Buck Swamp Area in 2008. The original annexation was to be effective June 30, 2004 but was challenged in court. The courts ruled in favor of the City.
Since 2008, the City has been providing police, garbage pickup and recycling, street maintenance, fire hydrants, street lights and all administrative services associated with those services. The City has also been engaged in performing tasks associated with delivering sewer service to the Buck Swamp Annexation Area. Residents in that area may participate in municipal elections, run for office and serve on City boards.

On May 25, 2012, the North Carolina General Assembly passed House Bill #5 which deannexed the area known as Phase XI. This is an action that required preclearance from the U.S. Department of Justice and notice was received by the City of Goldsboro on June 22, 2012 that the Department of Justice “does not interpose any objections to the specified change.”
Effective June 30, 2012, the City of Goldsboro will no longer provide City services to the affected area.
