Cornwallis Rd??-- what's being built

If you are coming from 42 down Cornwallis, headed toward Cleveland School, on the right hand side they have started to log it all off. Including the very wet swampy area. Anyone know what is going to go there? This is a pretty large piece of property to my knowledge but thought it was a farm. Anyone know? We live in Southills and just wondering if this is going to be yet another subdivision going up.

seems like thats the only thing they are building out here now

 

I saw that this morning too. If you look at the JoCO GIS this is in the environmentally sensitive district and the Dwarf Mussell Habit area. According to the maps on JoCo's latest growth managment report this area is not part of an approved subdivision either.

 

I'm sure it''s another housing development....seems like people will buy a house no matter where it is located ("Including the very wet swampy area"). I got an idea, lets build houses everywhere, leave all roads as two lane roads, reduce speed limits, and put up traffic lights for safety! This means that you can add 15 mins. for every mile you drive!

 

Lin?

Wouldn't that be the medical facility area?

Altho, I thought they couldn't disturb the mussel habitat...

I have no idea what is going on in there. This is on the right before you get to the creek on Cornwallis right? The William Troxler property? 233 acres more or less? Not a project we are doing so no idea.

 

hmmm. Maybe I have my areas wrong in my head...

The JoCo Mem. Hosp. new medical facility is going to go on 42. If you head out Amelia Church Rd (from your apartment Frogger) to 42, take a right on 42 as if to head up to 40. The medical facility is going to be in those first 2 fields on the right (before the 70 bypass construction even), where there is a pond, 2 houses for sale I think, and the little blue house to the back of the property that is on stilts. It's the property with the 99 Acres For Sale sign, it's almost immediately after you turn onto 42.

 

Looks like they are harvesting timber to me.

 

Yea if this area is an area for mussels, then I think its a safe bet that somebody paid big bucks to harvest the timber in that area. Alot of times they do that in swampy areas like where 1010 and 210 meet as you go into smithfield. that area floods everytime it rains hard so they cut down all those trees.

 

Why would cutting down trees help a flooding problem? Seem to me it would make it worse and add to a runoff problem.

 

I heard it was "6 flags" what you talking about? lol j/k I was waiting for it also.

 

Dwarf Wedgemussel.

 

Huh?

 

That is the name of the endangered species which held up the Clayton Bypass and also the endangered mussel being referred to in this thread.

 

Oh ok thought you had lost it lol

 

Some will argue that point.

 

Well who cares what other people think. Unless they are right. lol

 

It is going to be a water park themed around the dwarf mussel and his friends.

 

So, what happened to the mussels? If it will endanger their habitat, and it's an endangered species, I thought nothing could change.
