Developers of the multi-million dollar Gulf Highlands and Beach Club West resorts condominiums will find out in January whether their building proposals will be accepted.
At issue is the question of building in what is considered critical habitat for the endangered Alabama beach mouse. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service announced this week that it was preparing a ruling that could permit the developments to proceed.
If approved, the developers will be able to develop the properties without legal liaibility for incidental damages to the endangered beach mouse or its habitat.
