Great, take the Shelton's property taxes and increase them. Should be a lot of money for the county!

So what is the dollar value of this litigation? How much have we wasted on this?

Haven't the Sheltons got the message that their neighbors DO NOT want a theme park??

I don't think they care, they won't be there.

Just think if it had been approved, what kind of financial disaster we would be looking at right now. And we the tax payers would be on the hook for. I am not concerned about if it was totally by the book or not, we averted a much bigger mess.

They will sue and win lots of $$$ plus have their land. It is the equivalent of having your cake and eating it too!

Not sure what they can sue for, no rights were violated and approval had to go through the due process of appeals. Gee, too bad the investor couldn't wait around for that!! I agree that this could have been a nightmare for us taxpayers. We could have been paying for a park that nobody has the money to go too.

Sell it now to Six Flags and call it Six Flags over Blackman! ;-) Or maybe Dollywood will relocate!

No one wants Rutherford County to lose it's rural character, but farmers have to do something with their land if they aren't going to farm it. What if there were some way for Rutherford County to buy the land and either use it to recuit white collar jobs (like Nissan we lost to Williamson Co) or maybe even set some of the land aside in a land trust? If every property owner had an annual assessemnt of $20 to a land trust fund, it wouldn't take long for us to take control of what our County looks like. We could be proactive instead of always reacting (and losing in court).

Mypopculture, I like your idea. I don't know exactly how feasible it may be but I would support it. We have a City Council (Murfreesboro) that is hell bent on revenues and big city government. Generating revenues is how they measure performance. They don’t care too much about the citizen or protecting our money. That same city council is in a race with the county commission for land, or the annexing of what they can get. This council will leverage every dollar they can to finance the growth of the city limits so as to raise the revenues they get.

Yes Macgyver, you are very, very correct about the city wanting to take over every inch of the county. Fight over revenue through taxes continues.
