Please start an initiative to plant one million trees in the triangle, the best carbon fighter and climate change mitigating tool.
One thing about some of the development in far flung areas, especially to the east, but even a lot of what's going in Apex now, is that its on a lot of previous farmland. This particular site looks like about half farm now.

Well....
It is Fuquay just like the south end of 27603 Zip Code in Willow Spring area is "Raleigh" or NW 27587 around Falls Lake is "Wake Forest."
It takes routine effort to explain that USPS addresses are not municipal designations or jurisdictions.

Dallas-based Reeder Land Development Company (“Reeder”), a division of Reeder Capital Partners, today announced the acquisition of approximately 348 acres in Fuquay-Varina, Harnett County, North Carolina, for the development of a new single family residential planned community within the Town of Lillington ETJ. Reeder purchased and plans to develop the land under its wholly-owned subsidiary, Matthews Landing Development LLC. Plans include up to 940 single-family homes and townhomes located just north of Harnett Central Road and just east of the US401N and State Road 2215 Highway interchange. Reeder has entered into an exclusive contract for this project with the Terramor Homes division of D.R. Horton, Inc., the nation’s largest homebuilder. Construction is currently expected to begin before year end.

“The central region of North Carolina, and just about anywhere within an hour of the Raleigh-Durham Research Triangle, has shown consistent and dynamic growth, even during the pandemic,” said Bryan T. Reeder, Co-Founder of Reeder. “With Apple’s announcement this past April of a new $1 billion-plus corporate campus, plus Google’s announced new engineering hub - along with the thousands of high-paying jobs these corporate giants are expected to create - new business opportunities and home values in this region continue to outpace many areas of the country.”

The new community, currently named Matthews Landing, is expected to be built in three phases, with scheduled completion expected in late 2024/early 2025. The first phase of approximately 220 homes is scheduled to be completed in late 2022."

NC forested land has gone down slightly in the last 20 years, but is still almost double what it was 100 years ago.

Harnett County has seen high interest lately from residential builders as growth spills out from southern Wake County.

A national homebuilder is again looking to grow its footprint in Harnett County.

Los Angeles-based KB Home (NYSE: KBH) purchased 161.63 acres for nearly $1.7 million through its Durham-based division, according to a deed filed Friday. The land sits along U.S. 401 about 10 minutes north of downtown Lillington.

Cara Kane, a KB Home spokesperson, said this purchase is to facilitate construction of phases three and four of Birchwood Grove, a KB Home community. Kane said phases one and two included 93 lots, and this purchase will add another 96 lots. That will give Birchwood Grove a total of 189 lots.

Work on the 96 new lots will start in late 2022, Kane said, and include ranch-style and 2-story home layouts. The square footage range is 1,400-3,100 square feet with up to four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Pricing is currently set to start in the $320,000s with lot sizes of half an acre or more.

KB Home is no stranger to Harnett County. This most recent land purchase comes after KB Home purchased another 161 acres in Harnett County for over $3.7 million in November. In that community, called Matthews Ridge, KB Home is planning to build 379 new homes with prices starting in the $280,000s.

What’s happening in Harnett is disgusting . Traffic is about to be insane . Unfortunately in a conservative harnett county where a few landowners and developers push things like this through nothing will be done . Lots of shady stuff in both Johnston and harnett from what I have heard from folks in the know out those areas…. Disgusting , another rural county gone . First come the neighborhoods , then the New residents complain about the lack of fast food and targets , so then come the strip malls. It’s all disgusting . Natives are outnumbered and sold out by a few greedy natives . I really wouldn’t even be mad if there was adequate land conservation efforts but there isn’t , there a crap ton of forested land near raven rock sitting unprotected under threat. Part of a very large complex of forested land from raven rock all the way up to north of Jordan lake .

Screw the free market and it’s unhinged infinite growth fallacy. Eating up and destroying everything that’s good and green. Well not screw the free market , screw the greed destroying everything .

Was just reading that. If that isn’t the most aggravating news ever . Right on the cape fear river of all god damn places . Not even lillington, in between buies creek and lillington . They skipped over a ton of empty land and built way down there . 2250 homes is a town , no longer “ lillington “ but a town in its own right .
