Associated Press
OXFORD, Miss. —
The planning commission Monday approved a proposal to build condominiums in woods loved by the late Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner.

Opponents argued the development would destroy land cherished by Faulkner, including a nature trail the author once walked.
