Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book summarizes the achievements of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners for the year 1958. The county government, often overlooked by bigger political entities, plays a vital role in the development of North Carolina. The Association has helped to increase educational opportunities, connect rural areas to more developed centers, and maintain a working relationship between counties and the state government. The summaries of speeches and discussions given at the Association's annual convention provide valuable insights on topics such as county management, highway development, and industrial growth. The author lays out a vision for North Carolina's future that is as articulate as it is ambitious, and shows how the county government will be central to that vision.
