NH court hears dispute over Lebanon golf course, housing development

CONCORD — Justices on the New Hampshire Supreme Court on Thursday pressed an attorney for the Carter Community Building Association on why they should overturn a Superior Court ruling that could allow the Carter Country Club to be developed into housing.
At issue is a decades-old deed for the Lebanon land, now owned by New London developer Doug Homan, but which the CCBA says protects the golf course from development.
The case, an appeal of a 2020 Grafton Superior Court decision, largely hinges on what type of protections the late Meriden developer Edmond “Peanie” Goodwin inserted into Carter Country Club’s deed when he sold the 47-acre golf course in 1986.
