About four years ago, a palm tree nursery got started not far away.....judging by the layout and size, it appears the people were targeting commercial developers, with all the new home developments going in.

The place looks like a ghost town....just like all the unfinished housing tracts.

It is sad. We have a guy up the road hoping to get permission from the City Council to take his 200 acres and cut it up into 1-acre plots for 200 McMansions. He’s planted a nursery yard, built a huge building for a landscaping company...and all he’s been doing is shoveling snow and paying taxes on those 200 acres of undeveloped land.

For now. But good. We don’t WANT 200 new neighbors here in Cow Town. The stupid luxury golf course/condo/McMansion deal on the OTHER side of town is, as you said, a Ghost Town as it is.

It’s kind of nice to see SOME developemnt projects put on hold during this recession...meanie and greenspace lover that I am. ;)

But, I’m sure if it was MY 200 acres not making ME any money right now, I’d be singing a much differnt tune...
