I recently discovered a huge, multi-national land developer bought 200 acres directly across the road from my 17 acre farm (which has lake frontage in the summer time) and is planning to develop the property into 400 to 500 single-family homes. It's not for sure that they will move forward and they haven't filed their plan with the township yet but I'm both concerned and intrigued. The road I live on runs parallel to a state highway and currently has 250 or 300 cars per day. If they put in a development, that'll obviously go up by a factor of 10, to say nothing of the construction traffic for five to ten (or more) years.
So, my wife and I are talking about how to capitalize on this development if it goes forward. We're talking about self-storage, RV park, rental yard, landscape services, light excavation, land clearing, farmer's market, etc. etc.
If they're going to ruin my peace, the least I can do it make bank.
Any thoughts?
