Shovlin asked what residents consider fair community compensation. The two were not given a figure, with some saying the best compensation would be for the project to not go forward.
“I think the fair amount is our wetland intact and our ancient 400-year-old trees left standing,” Alexander said to applause.
“You can't replace these. You can't replace our quality of life. You can't replace the use of hiking trails and quiet oceanside community. You will not replace that."

There are no hiking trails here. Maybe an ATV trail or two. Perfect example of why these guys achieved nothing more than an atypically wide buffer. Should have asked for specific parts of the site, along with as much of the coastal strip as possible, to be gifted to the Nature Conservancy. Or try to finagle a handoff of the
land west of the transmission lines by Coleson Cove to the same.
