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.
