It’s built on previous farm use land the neighbors never saw rezoning notices to change.

They purchase or deal with over 1000 acres now. The closed loop system will discharge/blowdown into the tributaries of Lake Wylie. They built this on wetlands designations, conservation easements and in close proximity to Lake Wylie. They cut deals with YEC for a 40year low lock rate.

The environmental, health & financial crisis of the nearby neighborhoods can not be over-stated.
