Court says driving course builder needs local permit 

TAMWORTH, N.H. (AP) - Opponents of a driving course on the side of Mount Whittier in Tamworth (New Hampshire) are hailing a state Supreme Court ruling as a victory for local control.

The court has ruled that developer Club Motorsports must earn a local wetlands permit before breaking ground on its project. The ruling came even though the developer has gotten state and federal approvals.

Club Motorsports had complained local officials were biased against its project.

On June 27th, the developer returns to Tamworth to present tuned-down plans to pave a road to its 251 mountainside acres.
