Plans are to start work next year on the 339-acre tract to raise the single-family homes. If fully built out over the next decade as developers envision, the subdivision will bring an estimated $68 million of new residential development, said Mike Price of MAP Engineers.
Homes are expected to start at $400,000 each, while lots are slated to range from 2 to 10 acres in size, Price said.
He said the development group, led by Jim Morrison and Randy Brooks, has met with Hamilton County and worked out a plan to improve Roberts Mill Road between the upper and middle road gates at Flippers Bend.
Price said there are poor curves on that part of the road which will be straightened, as well as some grades flattened.
