Lost Rabbit residents win battle
SUMMARY: Residents of Lost Rabbit, a picturesque subdivision, successfully opposed a developer’s plan to build four homes on essential green space in the community. The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District’s Shoreline Committee unanimously denied the proposal, with homeowners emphasizing the importance of preserving this area for children’s play and community enjoyment. Laura Goss highlighted that the neighborhood was originally marketed with this green space, which should remain unchanged. Although residents are pleased with the decision, they remain cautious, anticipating that the developer may pursue legal action due to perceived property value.
