Cultural Resources Real Estate Development and Litigation
A lighthouse and museum complex included on the National Register of Historic Places were threatened with having their operations drastically curtailed or closed altogether by their neighbors. Jim led the effort in federal and state court litigation defending a premier destination for education and cultural tourism. The resulting land use plan allowed the client to continue to operate all of its existing programs and by improving the surrounding habitat, actually expand its operations. The effort balanced environmental protection, historic preservation and education.
