This past week, I received a
special request from Tim. Please help him out by reading his request below and
responding if you have information to share! His email is noted below and it
would be so helpful if you could share your experience. Thanks, Tim, for
working on this project!!!!
I want to put together a data base that would show
degradation of property values for properties sold near mine sites. This
is a big undertaking and I need the help of all the people in your
readership to collect information.
If anyone knows of a sale of a property within 1-2 miles
of an existing sand mine, please relay that information to me. I will need:
--name of buyer or seller, or both;
--sale date, even approximately;
--municipality where the property is located (township,
village, county, etc.);
--name of the nearby mine.
I will try to track down previous assessed values and
sale prices through the appropriate county records. This could take some
time, but I think that having a large body of evidence from right here in
Wisconsin, and recently, would carry far more weight in the court of public
opinion than all existing research, which are dated or come from remote parts
of the U.S. If this “proximity to sand mine=degraded property value”
thesis is wrong, then we need to know that, too, and to stop advancing a specious
argument. Please post or summarize this message as you deem appropriate.
Thanks in advance,
Tim Zeglin
