What’s up with the Cape Fear Crossing Project?
you can imagine that’s a that’s a big
legal issue for the Cape Fear Crossing in Brunswick Forest should the state be able to
on its own saying hey everybody you’re
no longer allowed to develop this area
because in 20 years we might put some
roads there well that’s not very cool so
three years ago the Supreme Court and
North Carolina ruled against that which
opened the doors for development in
these areas that had been frozen makeup
they were calling it a land freeze now
this area here for alternative tea is
supposed to cost a lot less than
alternative m and in my theory on that
is because if you look at the map
alternative tea going right here on
route 17 and then across over here is
much shorter than the other routes a man
in which should pull up shortly and they
might be for example 20 miles less Road
to construct and that may be where a big
part of the savings is especially if a
lot of that road is crossing back and
forth over the town Creek you know
estuary going through Brunswick County
etc so I’m going to zoom in on the maps
here and show you what’s going on here
relates to real estate plantation and
alternative em avoidance they both
started 87 and 17
instead of starting right here just
going like this they start way over here
and go around there much longer paths to
success as it were so therefore they
cost hundreds of millions of dollars
more now over here on the MLS this area
here is bronze Wake Forest and over here
is Mallory Creek plantation most of
Brunswick Forest from what I can tell
would not remotely be impacted by this
caper crossing now I want to emphasize
that because one of the most impressive
neighborhoods in the entire country not
in a state in the country
is the Brunswick forest plant community
it’s amazing and the Cape air Crossing
does not look like it will affect most
of Brunswick forest if at all because
they haven’t decided yet where it would
go now if they do select alternative tea
well it would go in this general area of
perhaps a half mile off this road called
Lillibridge and these are homes here
that have sold in the last two years
here or that are active now there’s in
the last two years I think about 60
homes have sold in this little section
of Brunswick four so if they do
alternative tea it’s going to greatly
impact this small section off to the
side of Brunswick Forest and that’s a
real issue that consumers need to be
aware of so it’s my mom I’m saying mom
you cannot beat Brunswick forest I would
buy a home in Brunswick forest but to be
careful I would be preventative of what
section of the neighborhood I was buying
in and not take the risk okay that’s
what I would tell my mom and as a
realtor that’s how I do my business what
would I tell my own mom as you can see
this is a significant area we’re talking
about hundreds of houses in
area even if one of the hundred and
eight houses that would directly be
impacted through eminent domain
according to these sources I’m reading
even if your home wasn’t one of those
houses you might still be whatever 50
yards away from a major new highway and
be listening to it and seeing it that’s
not what you had in mind when you bought
in a neighborhood so that is what the
fuss is about
with this project or plan called
alternative T now I’m going to just real
quick look up some other notes on it
here that I highlighted for you and
hammer them out here maybe not in the
order I attended originally this is just
a complicated thing here to go and stop
the development no ball our policy
permits leyland brunswick county or the
state from intervening to stop or slow
development and brunswick forest and
mallory creek new subdivisions in the
Cape Fear crossings path and the
development is growing fast well I can
guarantee you developments going fast
we’re talking exploding and that’s
because it’s a premier neighborhood in
the country the Washington excuse me the
Wilmington urban area Metropolitan
Planning Organization the W MPO
they wanted and recommended against
alternative T they were wanting one of
the alternatives to be selected of M or
n as my understanding but the problem is
that costs a lot more money now where is
all this and what is it all happening
this has already been 20 or 26 years in
the making
recently 33 million bucks were just
granted or set aside or earmarked for
this project the problem is it needs I
believe to be at least 65 or 75 percent
funded before they can do anything so
we’re still 10 years away of being able
to even looks like start this because
every couple years they’re going to get
tens
billions and more dollars and from what
I’m reading it won’t be for about 10
years 2028 of 2029 until they have a
chance of doing anything you see because
they need another 970 million dollars so
