Impact analysis
The developer is covering relocation costs to Broadway Cemetery, so no cost to taxpayers.
The property owner/developer gains clear title use of the land; any surviving family would gain a perpetually maintained gravesite.
Potentially unknown descendants of the Wombles if they were never located and notified.
