Expansion and controversy

I started editing the article intending to add a source to cite the owner of Cooper Spur. The quest turned into a wild goose chase which lead through public hearings, proposed federal legislation, court records, and a lot of protesters and activists. Naturally they materialized in an illogical chronological sequence. I'd still like to find something which says Meadows North LLC abandoned the effort to develop Cooper Spur. The H.B. appears to be cashing it in for developable land in Government Camp, but maybe it meant what I thought MHM always wanted: to develop lodging at its base area. Its base area is too far away from Govvy to possibly be confused—maybe. The trade seems a mixed blessing to environmentalists, forcing them to choose one child or the other. With the bill expired, I'm not sure where the situation stands. Here are some topics that ought to be developed:

history of Cooper Spur [1]
- Owned by the Dillard family until 2001 [2]
ongoing litigation over what appears to be an illegal land trade and $1 million payment by Hood River County
MHM changing its mind about development [3]
new efforts to revert the area to wilderness?
The Tilly Jane and Cloud Cap [4] areas might be designated wilderness eventually, including road removal. That would have some impact on Cooper Spur. [5]

It seemed like several other issues arose during my tail chase, but making sense of what I found distracted me from getting it in. —EncMstr 23:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
