Mixed-use Development Still a Possibility for Forsyth County

Forsyth County: Real Estate Growth -vs- Traffic Congestion

Forsyth County commissioners have scheduled a special called meeting for 8 a.m. October 7, 2011  to consider an amended development agreement proposed by Taubman Centers Inc.

In 2008, Taubman Centers Inc. and Forsyth County had reached an agreement for a regional mall, office space, hotels and residential units to be built on a 164 acre tract of land sitting between Union Hill and McFarland roads. 

Since that time, Taubman has requested an extension and that a sewer agreement be put in place.

As a local real estate agent I look to this a positive step for the Forsyth County market in terms of growth –vs- stagnation.  However, those living in the immediate area, may see it differently in terms of traffic congestion.

Either way, it will be interesting to see how things play out on October 7^th.
