Around the Great Depression, when the land was worn out from reparative corn and cotton farming it was prime time to scoop up large tracts of land from people that were land rich, cash poor.I think these laws in SC goes back to the CCC days as during these same times companies like West Virginia Pulp and Paper (Westvaco), Weyerhaeuser and others came buying up worn out and abandoned farm land planting trees and did not want to be locked out of their timber land investment.

I'm sure you know there is a lot of nothing but cows, peanuts, cotton and wheat out there on top of the ground. 

is anyone interested in developing a commercial area similar to cotton wood / 7bar?

The trades are a great tool to potentially create a robust business, but it will not get you into the top 10% of household earners which is about $160K nationally or $180k in my state of Michigan or $270K in NJ (your state).AI and Productivity tools have been disrupting the labor market sign Eli Whitney created the cotton gin.
