Wondered if this was ever going to show up again. There was a similar proposal for this same piece of property back during the housing bubble in 2008. They were requesting to build over 900 units covering both sides of the road, then the whole market imploded and that was that. Kind of sorry it’s back again but you cannot stop growth unfortunately.

 

Town of Clayton approved this annexation last night. The developer has 60 days to submit a rezoning plan, which should include more details. Only a handfull of people came to the meeting and spoke. Several said they had just moved here from the north (CT I think one was), and they wanted to know why the town wasn't improving the state DOT owned roads or the county owned schools. Always amazing how many uninformed citizens there are out there that don't understand the role of local goverment and how the law requires them to evaluate these things.

If they would put a Culver's at 40/42 I'd be fat and broke.

 

I may have missed this, what is being built on Cleveland Rd, coming from 42 (Veterans) on the right, before you get to 40?

 

I had heard rumors on Next-door about a Scooters coffee across from Cleveland ES for a while. On my bid site its now listed as bidding Jan 6, start construction Feb 5. This is on the open lot at that intersection. (Cornwallis & Clev. Rd)

 

Last night, Planning Department approved adding about 15 acres to the large parcel just South of Walmart on US 70. Making it about 85-90 acres total now. There's an article on TBJ about it - https://archive.ph/newest/https://w...layton-nc-retail-development-land-target.html

 

Mark, do you know what's going on Cleveland Rd near 40? I saw the Choate Construction sign go up?
