Controversial Champlain Park Hearing Tonight at North Hero
The Inter-agency Committee on Natural Resources holds a public hearing at North Hero on the Champlain Pathway known as the String of Pearls. Debates split over retaining the 37 mile state right of way for recreation versus selling sections to municipalities or nearby property owners. Local residents favor private development of the beachfront frontage valued at 45 to 100 dollars per foot. Legal questions over how the land was acquired affect the state's claim, with outright purchase and eminent domain cases influencing the strength of the land title.
