No funnels?
My recollection is that most towns now have zoning to prevent funnel development. They require a minimum frontage per residence, so you can't build 200 condos to share 100 feet of frontage. In many towns, the fees collected from converting current use to some sort of development ("Land Use Change Tax") go to the local Conservation Commission which then buys land or conservation easements to protect wetlands, slopes, wavefront. etc. I don't know how this is handled in Meredith.
