I'm glad that you are all happy about this but from my stand point i'm not because i live here and did not buy a home to have commercial properties in my back yard. I'm trying to raise a family not having to worry about living next to a commercial park!!!! Power plants etc. This community was for residential only or i would not of bought here knowing that. Seems that people with money try to push people without around just like when they wanted to build a walmart on rea road and all the residents with money did not want that because they said it would bring the wrong element there?? What was that suppose to mean ?? But it's ok to build a energy plant in my back yard huh??? Thanks for letting me know this so we can fight this too!!!!!

There was a research park built a couple of miles from ourneighborhood in Virginia, it was very tastefully done and brought professionals to our area and resulted in increased businesses and jobs and house buyers, so it was a great thing for us. Hope this is the same thing
But you said a couple of miles from you??? We are talking they want to build this right in my community around my children!! I will fight it
I understand your fear because this is not what you expected when you bought in there. However, in reality, there is so much property in Millbridge and Edenmoor, they could probably build it on the back side (with access to 75 & 521 - not Jim Wilson Rd.) and you really wouldn't realize it's there. For instance, have you ever gone in the Edenmoor entrance from 521? It's not developed yet but there are roads and you can't even tell there are houses over the knoll on the other side (near Jim Wilson Rd.) Also, I can't imagine who would want to build a house on the back side of Edenmoor (and maybe Millbridge too?? -- not sure of the layout there) so close to the railroad tracks that run along 75. I live off of Jim Wilson Road and surprisingly to me, I hear the train whistle very clearly here. It must be extremely loud in the back of Edenmoor! A corporate park might be a better fit there. Also, look at the nice corporate buildings in Ballantyne. Some back up to neighborhoods and it was all tastefully done. A research/corporate park would bring in people and help sales in your neighborhood. They could finally finish it out...which I'm sure you want...but it would just be on a smaller scale. (Maybe hundreds of homes instead of thousands?!?!)

GONYMETS, where are you from? The citizens that have lived here an extended period of time are very excited about this project. If you have seen what has happend to downtown Waxhaw over the past couple of years you would understand the revitilization this could bring to the area. They are not going to bring power plants to the area, and it will be tastefully done. We need this project to help keep Waxhaw merchants in business.

No offense, METS, but it seems to me you are jumping the gun. This is a good thing for the whole area. I don't think you understand what this project is about and what type of district it would create.
Further, anytime you buy in an area that is not fully developed, you are taking a chance on what will be built on that land. So really - methinks you need to take a chill pill. Again, not intending to sound disrespectful, but you really are getting upset over something that is a very sound project and should have little negative effect on you, personally.
I feel for people who bought in Millbridge. Looked there too but decided it was too big, too underdeveloped and went with Cureton instead. From my point of view, this proposal is fabulous.
NYMETS, have you forgotten how high the Charlotte region unemployment is? With this development many jobs will be created and it will provide jobs that will help your area. A research park is office development which is not as degrading to a neighborhood as a power plant.
