Hamilton County completes buy of Sale Creek farmland
Hamilton County has completed its $16 million purchase of the McDonald Farm in Sale Creek to help establish its newest industrial park.
Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger said the sale of the 2,100-acre farm was completed Tuesday, clearing the way for the county to begin site plans for a variety of uses on the farm that stretches into part of Rhea County.
“Our concept is to use the McDonald Farm site for mixed development and our hope is to eventually have a corporate headquarters that offers good wages locate at the farm,” Coppinger said.
The mayor said he hopes to begin recreational efforts at the farm as early as this spring.
