South Carolina Developer Cancels 200-Home Project to Protect Land

A South Carolina developer has abandoned a 200-home residential project, allowing 229 acres of ecologically sensitive land to be permanently conserved. The settlement enables the Open Space Institute to acquire the property adjacent to the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. This agreement resolves community concerns regarding local wetlands, wildlife, and water quality. The successful preservation is a major victory for conservation advocates dedicated to protecting the region.
