The weird proposal from Chatham Park Investors about razing the woods and cross-country trail for regional sports facilities deserved it's own separate story. We learn nothing from this report. such as, no-one at that point had signed off on it, and it appears neither County parks or town parks folks were consulted.

"The land development next to Northwood" is not something that is or was planned. We also need to know whether the Board discussed it. The article says "is proposed" but not by whom. Apparently its proposed by Chatham Park Investors and is something that has come out of left field and is not consistent with a single previous existing plan of any sort.

The description (from the Chatham Journal, prior to this School Board meeting, included multiple facilities that do not need to be right there and which would require additional parking and add traffic to that busy intersection and series of entrances.

Digging into the details it doesn't appear that CPI plans to pay for all the construction and then upkeep but that county taxpayers would also be funding this.
