^Not surprised….

One of things I’ve uncovered about this mess is that the Federal Government has a “easement” of some sort on a large portion of the tract.

That generates a little revenue for the current owners, but it also transfers intact to the new owners when sold, as I understand it…

The purpose of the easement is “military training and such…” which given the proximity to Camp Leguene and Cherry Point made a whole lot of sense at the time the easement was granted…

Now that, for all practical purposes, would make most any kind of development virtually impossible…

I guess they will just have to find somebody who knows how to grow trees and make a profit…
or sell for less, which considering the conversation, makes no sense whatsoever…
