Petition, Protest, and Preservation: The 'Save Sledge Forest' Efforts
Developers propose 4,000 units on a quarter of the 4,000-acre property, claiming to preserve as much land as possible without negatively impacting older forests.
Conservation advocates raise concerns about flooding, traffic, groundwater use, and the county's permitting process, hoping to stop the development entirely.
- Flooding
- Traffic
- Groundwater use
- County's permitting process
The developers, Charlotte-based Copper Builders, can build by right without county approval, as they don't need a rezoning or special-use permit for the proposed homes and golf course.
Unlike many developments where there's public pushback, the 4,000-unit Hilton Bluffs project doesn't require approval from any elected official.
Author's summary: Conservation advocates protest against the development.
