Phase one will be 93 lots, two 86, and three 81.

Turning lanes will be installed on CR 48 into the project.

Wasn't Horton implicated in a class action suit for fraudulent "Gold Fortified" home ratings?

Some body needs to straighten it out and connect Cr 48 to Hwy 59.
Land owner, that thinks enough is enough said…
Pretty soon there won’t be any farmland left to grow potatoes and corn.

Track housing at Alabamas best. That was meant to be sarcasm . These developers have no originality and the subdivisions look simple cookie-cutter and ugly. Shame on the county for approving this eyesore. You would never see this in the Midwest. May as well allow mobile homes, it’s just about the same.
Pack as many tiny crappy homes as you can in a small space.

No big news here. The various chambers of commerce and realtor organizations want more growth. In fact the more the better. Good for business. More houses to sell.

We will not need to save any farmland for growing food because we will be shrinking the aquifer and eventually will not have enough water to grow food. Look at all the sprinkler systems that are being installed in these housing developments. We may live in an area that has always received a lot of rain but what if that changes? You can dig 14 more wells but if you use up the water then what? 7 states in the mid section of the US are seeing low aquifers.
