A new residential development is planned for an area that includes approximately 10.62 acres designated for open space. The project proposes a full access point and an emergency access point on Sheeler Avenue, with a right-turn lane into the site. A 5-foot sidewalk will be built along Sheeler Avenue, connecting to a jogging trail. Stormwater retention is planned for the east side of the property. The development includes recreational areas, a park, landscape buffers, and a 0.5-mile gravel jogging trail. This project is currently under review, with a plat approval pending substantial conformance with the development plan. The scope of work will likely involve site clearing and grading, underground utility installation, stormwater management systems, road and sidewalk paving, and extensive landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, civil engineering, concrete, paving, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and landscaping could find opportunities by engaging early in the process before final plans and bids are set.
