City-County Consolidation in North Carolina

Part 2 turns to the eight efforts specifically, with a section for each of the eight. Each section begins with a very short summary of the highlights of the consolidation proposal, followed by a brief summary of the effort and its outcome; most of these second sorts of summaries were prepared shortly after the effort in question. Each section then sets out basic documents from the effort – the action, legislative or local, that created the charter commission; the charter prepared by the charter commission; any report prepared by the charter commission; and any other important documents.
