If you read the accompanying tax records it shows "we" bought it on 09/16/2010.

Cool. Did we get a good deal?

That requires answering your question with a question, and the rest of it is just opinions.

Was the property "developable" when sold?

Had the TDR's already been sold prior to the sale making it undevelopable?

And if land is already preserved by the TDR's being sold, then why would you buy it instead of letting the owner keep paying taxes on undevelopable land?

I just did a quick search and this land purchase seems to be a typical purchase for our state.

#1 Is it open to the public?

#2 Do you need a license to harvest mussels?

That's nice, but was the property developable?

Are you unwilling or unable to answer the question?

Was the property able to be developed at the time it was sold?

All the land purchases I read about were for primarily for conservation not development.

All the land purchases I read about were for primarily for conservation not development.

So the discussion is: if something is already conserved from development, then why would you buy it to conserve it?

Again, was the property developable?

I guess that explains why the property went for so dirt cheap then, huh?

Cheap huh?

"Item 19: "Subject property appears to be in the 100 year flood plain boundary, as delineated on Flood Hazard Boundary Maps for Saint Mary's County, Maryland and distributed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, per F.I.R.M Community Panel #24037C0159E."

Indeed. Been through more hurricanes here than I could count and all I've gotten so far was.....good and wet.

OK..and lost a pier or three. When my brand spanking new gas pumps went overboard in Hurricane Fran..that did piss me off, I admit, but I'm still here. ;-p

You've owned ..what of any real value in this county? You have employed..how many people in this county?

Not if it is wetlands. That's federal law.
