Answer:

Serving limited functions

Step-by-step explanation:

North Carolina is a non-home rule state which means that all the local government entities derive their authority from the General Assembly. The legislature has authorised some special purpose local government or known as the "special purpose government" which serves only limited functions such as - providing water or sewer services, tourism development, public education, public transportation or mosquito control. The territorial boundaries often cut across more than one general purpose-local government which allows certain services to be provided within the portion of a governmental unit or across multiple governmental units. Special purpose government can also be referred to as the public authority.

Answer:

providing water or sewer services, tourism development, public education, public transportation, or even mosquito control.

Step-by-step explanation:

The legislature has authorized some special-purpose local governments, though. A special-purpose local government typically serves only limited functions—such as providing water or sewer services, tourism development, public education, public transportation, or even mosquito control. The territorial boundaries of a special-purpose local government often cut across more than one general-purpose local government. This allows for certain services to be provided within a portion of a governmental unit or across multiple governmental units.
