Introduction
Polk Citizens Against Forced Annexation (CAFA)
unofficially has its roots in 2005 when Columbus
proposed a plan to forcibly annex a nearby area.
Many citizens joined together to fight the plan and
succeeded in convincing the Columbus Town Council
to abandon involuntary annexation.
When rumors surfaced in 2006 that Tryon was
secretly making plans to forcibly annex neighbors,
a few people experienced in the Columbus fight came
together for the new battle. When it became clear,
despite Tryon's statements to the contrary, plans
were being made to spring a surprise annexation
resolution. Citizens Against Forced Annexation was
formed. Currently CAFA has approximately 400
members living in all parts of Polk County.
Goals
- Prevent Tryon's involuntary annexation of any part of Tryon Township
- Build awareness of county residents to the dangers of forced annexation.
- Develop political strategy to reverse any involuntary annexation.
- Seek repeal of North Carolina's Involuntary Annexation Law.
