Developer seeks reopening of Wonderland hearings in Rutland
Dr. James Kinsey, Manchester veterinarian and Wildlife Wonderland developer, asks Rutland District Environmental Commission to resume his Act 250 hearing while the state Environmental Board reviews an appeal. The 65 acre game farm about six miles north of Weston would host exotic and domestic animals and attract about 200000 visitors yearly. Kinsey seeks to reopen to consider all eight Act 250 criteria as a precaution against a potential Environmental Board ruling, with a Supreme Court appeal planned if needed.
