A group of Morrisville residents are taking their concerns to Town Hall, and to the Web.

In June a group of concerned citizens created MorrisvilleAction.org, an Internet-based community platform formed to voice residential concerns in the booming town.

“Our mission is to represent residents in Morrisville,” said Jackie Holcombe, former Morrisville commissioner and part of the 15-member steering committee that founded the group.

The group’s Web site keeps updated information on current issues in Morrisville — like the recent controversial discussions of the town’s 2009 budget.

Residents’ protest, spearheaded by Morrisville Action, led commissioners to shave $2 million off the budget before a last-minute adoption, making the now $22 million budget revenue-neutral.

Besides posting information about current town issues, Morrisville Action’s Web site also offers a place where people can sign up to be e-mailed information about upcoming town meetings and issues.

“It adds another dimension to being able to provide information,” Ty Elliott, a spokesperson for the group, said of the MorrisvilleAction.org Web site.

It was the success of another Internet-based citizen group that inspired the Morrisville Action creators.

Holcombe said that members of DavisandHighHouse.org — a similar group formed last year in Cary — helped the Morrisville group with its set up and organization.

The Davis and High House group was influential in citizen protest last spring against a large mixed-use development at the intersection of High House Road and Davis Drive — from which the group took its name.

Though council approved that development, the Davis and High House group continued its efforts into last fall’s election in which the group campaigned for council members who didn’t support the mixed-use development. Morrisville Action hopes to be a similar catalyst in the community, Holcombe said.

Currently Morrisville Action has at least 400 names in its mailing list.

As for the near future, the group plans to keep tabs on Morrisville’s land use and transportation plans currently under a review by officials.

The group is also keeping an eye on town discussions to change Morrisville’s board of commissioners from district seats to all at-large seats, Holcombe said.
