    What is going on with the Copper District in Clayton? I don’t see it on the Clayton Development map anymore. They must have backed out of the project.

    They put up silt fence recently and there's some activity going on daily on the back side of the property. I thought I heard they were working on the water tower first.

    Greystar (a rental/property management company) has purchased about 42 acres past the end of Technology Dr, paralleling I-40. Wording in the deed says "Garner Apartment Associates", so it looks like a large apartment complex is coming to that location.

    Wouldn't be the first time someone tried to develop that property for housing.

    Proposal for Timber Dr / 70 Chick Fil A. Rear of current bldg. is about where "first union" curve in parking lot is. So they are moving or adding to the rear of the property

    Anyone know if Scooters backed out of building at the corner of Cornwallis and Cleveland Rd? For Sale sign just went up on the property, so was just curious!

    Based on this, everything that is where the new building would be built, would be on the property to the west of what they currently own. I would assume they are making a purchase of the land then some dividing/merging of properties. But based on this, if they just close the 11 spaces on the west side of the property, they could probably do the entire construction of the new building without yet demolishing the new one. This would be great for business if they take that approach. If smart, they would work out a deal with the Town Square property owner to build a temporary access road to the new part of the property from the curved road to the south to minimize impact to business while construction is underway. Then close for a week or so to transition to the new building, then probably do demolition of the old building with minimal impact to the flow of traffic for the drive thru.
