Was it ever designated as a ‘protected wetlands’ area?
Gov.Whitmer has been ‘at will’ removing the protected status of some wetlands state-wide & has allowed them to be filled in& subsequently developed into properties for construction. Rochester Hills had such a wetlands that was targeted by Whitmer & the city re-developed the property for construction of 9 condos. Some of condos have three (3) & some have four (4) different individuals who bought a portion of the building. each with individual
mortgages.
The owners of each mortgage is a developmentally disabled person.
The developers will not affirm whether or not there is government money in the project.
The homeowners in the affluent adjacent neighborhoods, objected strenuously. All have sump pumps & a number of them have not one, but two & three sump pumps. They have concerns about where the waters will be re-directed!
Rochester Hills City Council unanimously approved the project!
Whitmer is using her powers to over-reach local decisions!
We had some land in SW MI that was forest but also in wetland and could not harvest the trees. We kept it for several years mainly for hunting. Then sold it after downsizing our blueberry operations. After a couple of buyers over the year, they torn down the forest, cleared the land, moved in dirt, used the wood chips from those trees & planted blueberries. And again up for sale because the blueberry industry has fallen away from most farmers due to increase in taxes, high cost of fertilizer and spray, government control stipulations, lack of the type of blueberries that processors will receive plus other countries imported blueberries that are NOT USDA inspected. A bug/fly from another country has infested blueberries. So blueberry farmers over the years (just like every type of farmer) has great expenses but when the berry is harvested, taken to a processing plant and the bug is found in your load - bye bye. You have to take your load home and dump the berries on the ground. At one point we dumped over 3 ton. Sad but true! But yes Whitmer did change the law on wetlands.
My question regards the actual sanctuary.
