A recent court settlement calls for developer Niemitalo Inc. to receive $100,000 and permission to proceed with a subdivision in rural northern Greenville County that county officials had blocked in 2018.
Residents Julie Turner and Brian Campbell, who both live near the subdivision on Tigervillle Road in the Slater-Marietta area, each opposed the project and were parties in the litigation over the development.
In an email this week, Turner said she was largely excluded from mediation talks in the case and felt like she had no choice but to agree to the settlement that was reached in late April. The developer gets what he wants in every regard. I get nothing, Turner said. The rural character of my community gets destroyed and my property s value as a horse farm is diminished.
