COLUMBIA â A proposed housing development has drawn attention from Friends of Rock Bridge Memorial State Park.
The Gans Wild Area is also home to Gans Creek. Friends of Rock Bridge Memorial State Park say the creek could be contaminated by storm runoff from the new development.
"I'm actually a part of Friends of Rock Bridge," said Rob Hill, developer of the proposed Canton Estates. The property is southeast of East Gans Road and South Bearfield Road.
Hill also developed Parkside Estates, which is on the northwest border of the state park and has homes listed in the $325,000 to $650,000 range. He said he gave very specific concessions to environmental advocates during the Parkside project.
