I have seen various references to this group lately. They reportedly own land in Berlin and North Conway

Here is an article on the project from AMC

I looked on Google Earth and using the description that it is bounded by Mt Forist and Mt Jericho, the obvious parcel looks pretty cut over. I would be curious on how they will deal with zoning and building permits in Berlin for structures and the potential loss of current use status. Over the years there have been a couple of parcels in this area that were for sale at a pretty low cost as they had no deeded access from a public road.
Nevetheless its an interesting project for those who want to go play in the woods.
