What it means: Holly Springs residents voted to keep a watchful eye on growth in their booming town. Womble, a lifelong resident and 26-year veteran of the council, campaigned on keeping a "village atmosphere" in the town. Sack, a former council member, has been an advocate of acquiring land for parks, open space and recreational facilities. The town of 20,000 expects a population of 45,000 by 2020.
