County is firmly linked with the prosperity anddevelopmen~ of the City of <br />Portsmouth. The throttling of the development of the City of Portsmouth <br />would be to the ultimate detriment of Norfolk County° <br /> <br /> 6. Substantial numbers of former citizens of the City of Portsmouth, <br />and many of its le~ding professional and business men now reside in the area <br />proposed for annexation under the designation herein of Area '~". The ser- <br />vices of these persons in various offices of municipal government have been <br />lost to the City, with little or no gain of such pozential services by <br />Norfolk County. <br /> <br /> ?o The area proposed for annexation under the designation herein of <br /> Are~ "B" is largely vacant land being held for potential industrial developmento <br /> The potential of this area can only be achieved promptly by provision of muni- <br /> cipal water and sewer systems, and other services and protections afforded by <br /> a municipality. <br /> <br /> 8. The area proposed for annexation under the designation herein of <br /> Area "C" consists largely of property owned by the United States Government. <br /> Inclusion of this area in the city limits, ~mong other things, would afford <br /> the federal government substantial savings in water and sewage treatment <br /> cilar~es. <br /> <br /> 9. The other area proposed for annexation under the designation herein <br /> of Area "D" consists almost entirely of water areas surrounding and adjacent <br /> to the present city limits° Recent developments in federal and state law <br /> <br /> <br />
