What's up with the Cape Fear Crossing Project?

 Regarding Brunswick Forest neighborhood you can imagine that's a that's a big   legal issue for the  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
