Undeveloped land
is typically described as land that is still in
its natural state, as opposed to open space, which
could include developed recreational areas like
golf courses and soccer fields. When one refers
to open space, they are usually referring to land
that is not some sort of building. |
Much of the undeveloped land in Exeter
will continue to exist because zoning
regulations and state and federal regulations prohibit
the development of any land categorized as wetlands.
