Rockingham County’s lawyers explained in a new legal brief Monday why they believe the North Carolina Supreme Court should throw out a lawsuit based on a rezoning linked to a controversial casino project.
The court issued an order last month agreeing to hear the case, Camp Carefree v. Rockingham County. A unanimous state Appeals Court panel ruled in July 2025 that the suit from rezoning opponents could move forward.
The county’ opening brief emphasized a 1976 court precedent, Taylor v. Raleigh, which “discussed the standard for determining standing in a legislative zoning challenge.”
