Before His Death, Railroad Magnate R.J. Corman
Saved His 1,200-Acre Farm from Development

NICHOLASVILLE April Corman Colyer says her father always told her and
her siblings that the farm he and they grew up on and gradually expanded
to more than 1,200 acres would never be developed or sold out of the
family.
.
When railroad magnate R.J. Corman said something, he meant it.
.
Before he died in August 2013 after a long battle with cancer, the founder
of R.J. Corman Railroad Group arranged to put permanent conservation
easements on the farm, the family planned to announce Sunday.
.
Without those easements, the beautifully landscaped property that
stretches from the U.S. 27 Bypass at Nicholasville to U.S. 68 near Wilmore
would have been prime subdivision land in a fast-growing county known for
suburban sprawl.
.
It is the second such action by a prominent Central Kentucky family
announced in recent weeks. Arthur Hancock and his wife, Staci, said March
20 that they had put conservation easements on their 2,200-acre Stone Farm
in Bourbon County.
.
Both were arranged with help from the non-profit Bluegrass Conservancy,
which is celebrating 20 years of helping landowners permanently preserve
more than 24,500 acres of farmland and natural areas in the region.
.
Corman's farm includes 65 acres near the headwaters of Jessamine Creek
that the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission has designated as the
R.J. Corman Natural Area.
.
"He told us that we would always have the farm, that it would always be
something that our family could enjoy, but we would never be able to sell
or develop it," Colyer said.
