An Alabama Gulf coast development on state park land announced in May has met some unexpected resistance.
As a result of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April 2010, which hit at the height of spring migration and just before the summer beach season, states on the Gulf of Mexico lost a fortune in environmental resources and tourist dollars. BP eventually agreed to repay around $1 billion to the affected states. Now states have to decide the best way to put the money to work.
