WEST VIRGINIA NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Fight to block battlefield development to continue July 18, 2008 1:46 PM CHARLES TOWN, W.Va.
Preservationists say they will keep fighting to stop a housing development planned for a Civil War battlefield, despite losing in the state Supreme Court. Maryland-based Far Away Farm LLC plans to build 152 homes on the site of the September 1862 Battle of Shepherdstown. But preservationist Ed Dunleavy said Friday his group is prepared to challenge in the U.S. Supreme Court. Jefferson County zoning officials rejected a permit for the project, calling it incompatible with the area. The state Supreme Court overturned that decision on appeal and ordered the permit granted. Dunleavy's group has been raising money to buy the site. The County Commission also set aside $100,000, but the asking price at one time was $3.6 million.
