Saunders given thirty day extension

Brunswick County commissioners have just agreed to give a local developer 30 more days to make good on a promise to install roadways and infrastructure in a number of major developments.

Mark Saunders, who is the developer for communities like Sea Watch and Ocean Ridge Plantation, missed the original deadline.

That’s put property owners in a bind since their lots aren’t worth much without roads, water and sewer.

County commissioners had originally planned to call in bonds that insured the infrastructure, so they could build it themselves, but they’re giving Saunders one last chance to finish what he started before they get involved.
