The size of this development area was tripled in September 2015. Current developments in the works or under review in this area include: Stoneport - a mixed use development featuring Bojangles, Wendy's and Wal-Mart a proposed 37 acre student housing community on Reservoir Street The proposed rezoning of 238 acres by Sentara RMH per their new proposed master plan. An affordable housing complex being developed off Reservoir Street across from Fieldale Place. After the workshop (11:30 AM) the Board of Supervisors will hold their regular meeting at 3:00 PM today. From today's Daily News Record article.... County Administrator Joe Paxton said supervisors are concerned because the growth of JMU and the need for housing are uncertain. Supervisors want to decide what type of development should go in the area to best spur growth, Paxton said. "The type of housing that you allow to develop in that area will drive the type of commercial that you get," Paxton said. "So, there needs to be some intentional thought ... in deciding what type of residential development will go in that area." Deputy County Administrator Stephen King said the workshop will "give an overall look of what is there, what we know is coming, what we've been told is coming," and allow the board to start developing a plan for the area. Certain types of housing can attract certain people to an area, Paxton said, and the demographics will determine which businesses want to move to the area. "The income levels are critical to attract different types of commercial development," Paxton said. "If you don't have some kind of plan, then you will just get what happens."
