We
need your help! Please report flooded homes and properties to the GEC at
466-0934. Increasingly in Glynn County, we are seeing wetlands and even
cypress swamps being subdivided into home lots, filled and developed. In an
effort to warn buyers and take development pressure off of our wetlands, the
Buy Dry Land campaign was launched last
November.
Wetland development is a threat to not only our natural resources, but to
every homeowner and taxpayer in Glynn County. When homes are built in
wetland they flood or cause flooding of nearby homes and businesses, which
raises flood insurance County-wide. When unwise development was allowed in
the Savannah area, the homes flooded and had to be purchased at great
expense to taxpayers. The recent boom of building in wetlands and swamps
has left Glynn County in a similar situation.
