They spent $300,000. Now they’re asked to give up 44 acres

Investing nearly $300,000 into regulatory requirements and necessary studies, he was soon met with neighbor complaints that triggered additional demands.

These included extensive environmental assessments and a permanent conservation deed restriction on two-thirds of his land.

Undeterred by the financial and emotional strain, Chambers remains resolute in his quest to build a home.
