    I dont know JM will have a vested interest in keeping the fishing good rather than the aesthetics at least I hope so

    Don’t matter, dumb yanks will bitch about not being able to float around in their pontoons with 50 rods hanging off….they’ll nuke every area where his condos or whatever have access.

    Environmental impact. You can’t make that stuff up. Dump thousands of gallons of poison in the water and they are concerned about BPS hurting the lake.

    Vose said there are potentially a lot of ways to sort out the issue of the encroachment from the neighboring landowner. He said any and all resources of the county will be available to Bass Pro.

    Heitz said Bass Pro has received “great cooperation” from county attorney Wade Vose.
    Translation: "We wrote a big honkin check to county attourny Wade Vose..."

    Not sure what encroachment issues they are referring to - the mobile home park is completely on the other side of FL 78, outside of thier proposed land use. More likely they just don't want a Mobile Home park as visible neighbors I would guess.

    That's sort of like building a house next to an airport and complaining about the noise.

    For the most part, the generation that inherits farm land or ranch land today is not into working the land the way their parents, grandparents and great grandparents did...Hell, they ain't into working, period.
    They wanna cash out, sit on their ass and play with their phones.
    It's a crying shame they want to build this on a dying lake. Just like the bait fuel guy, it's gonna be a long time before he sees roi. Our politicians do not give a damn about that lake. That's obvious. The struggle will only get worse for everyone except the 1 %.

    Couldn't agree more. I'm going to give them a couple three years or so before I make my final decision but the tri state area of nc, sc and ga is looking better all the time just not many canal options.

    Brother, Ive got some bad news for you. Realtor magazine just released their list of Top 10 upcoming housing markets and there are four cities in the top 10 that are considered Tri-state. I have family in Cornelia and they said the land prices are just getting stupid.

    We've been waiting on a BPS announced in 2012 that's still not built, so they have plenty of time lol...

    I think we may finally see it, a (different) land purchase was made recently.
