New River Gorge Development Approved
Fayetteville, WV.— Fayette County commissioners voted 2-1 last Friday to approve a zoning change for an Atlanta developer to build 2,365 houses in a gated community along the New River Gorge.
The commissioner who cast the sole ‘no’ vote, Matt Wender, said he fears the impact the development could have on views in the gorge.
During their meeting, a lawyer for the commissioners told them they could not vote on 10 amendments to restrict the development that were recommended at a Monday hearing by the zoning commission.

And the march toward completely destroying every natural enviroment on the planet continues. If they could have at least kept the buildings back from the gorge I could feel good about all this.
