A recently approved multipurpose development will be coming to Walker County in the near future, bringing with it retail locations, green spaces and hundreds of new homes just off of Happy Valley Road.
The project, submitted by Chattanooga-based Hagaman Construction, first required rezoning. The request to change the 167-acre property from C-1 restricted commercial zone to a planned-unit development was approved by the county’s planning commission and Sole County Commissioner Shannon Whitfield in late October.
Construction is now slated to begin in 2021.
The plans call for up to 550 homes which will be priced in the $200,000-$300,000 range. The residential portion of the development will include sidewalks, streetlights, hiking trails, green spaces, a dog park and a playground with a pavilion, according to a news release from the county.
Each house will sit on a lot no smaller than 4,800 square feet.
