Seth Wescott has won his second gold medal in Snowcross. People around the world are increasingly drawn to the Sugarloaf area, Seth’s home base, to become part of this growing sport and industry. Franklin County is now on the map! The town Planning Board members have realized that the population will likely triple in the next ten years, because it is located halfway between the mountain and the interstate. It is also a sweet place to live in its own right, because it is beautiful, with clear streams, farms and forests. The area has great schools, a super hospital and Reny’s. The development of the town will have permanent effects. You have been hired as a natural resource management consultant to inventory the local ecosystem, and analyze and predict the effects of development. What might be changed? What might be gained or lost? What is your best recommendation to the planning board?
