Landmark for Sale
There's been a lot of media coverage recently (more here and here) about the sale of Chimney Rock and the wilderness surrounding it. Even the New York Times has gotten in on the action.
The family who owns Chimney Rock is asking $55 million for the property, but an independent appraiser put the value at $20 million. The rub is that the state constitution prohibits the state from paying any more than the appraised value.
There is hope. A group of concerned citizens have come together to lobby the state and the landowners to find a solution. Check out their website and see how you can get involved.
