CUMBERLAND – The long and often convoluted history of one of Cumberland’s largest proposed housing projects, now tied up in litigation with one of the town’s most well-known developers, is still taking more twists and turns than the Diamond Hill roundabouts.
Back in July 2011, The Valley Breeze reported that real estate broker John Brady, owner of 88 acres of Bear Hill, was nearing final approvals on his Gold Rush Estates, a development of 60 homes named in honor of old-time landowner David Curran and the mini-gold rush that hit Bear Hill in May 1904.
Asked back then when he expected work on his project to get started, Brady said it wouldn’t be happening soon due to the condition of the economy. A decade later, the 60-lot subdivision project, first granted preliminary plan approval in 2008 but allowed to be put on pause through state tolling statutes, still waits in limbo.
