Daphne AL City May buy Wetlands for a Preserve

Daphne Utilities now hopes to be able to sell their 19-acre wetlands for $200,000 after abandoning possibilities that they might allow new homes to be built on the parcel.  Three months ago Daphne Utilities considered taking the 19-acres of land near Oak Bluff in Daphne AL and dividing it into three parcels of land for new homes to eventually be built by other developers; they are now interested in selling the property to the city to be developed as a nature preserve.  However, some city council members are looking into the issue more to see if they can purchase the land for less or another agreement can be made.  Daphne’s city council is happy to have the prospect of having this parcel of land dedicated as a wetland preserve, but enforce that it isn’t likely to happen very quickly.
