Ellwood - the deal currently
It has been a while, but I can now reveal that there is a dispute with Orange County as to the exact placement of the northern line dividing them and Spotsylvania County. As I have said previously, the long, well established history of Ellwood places it in Spotsylvania County, but Orange is not just concerned with Ellwood, they are looking at all properties along the disputed border.
Presently, Orange County has some other issues they are dealing with and this discussion with Spotsylvania is taking a backseat, for a while.
When they can refocus, we will be on top of it.
