BREAKING: Jackson Planning Board Approves Sprawling 575-Home Development Off East Veterans

The Jackson Planning Board on Monday evening unanimously approved an application to construct a 550-home development off East Veterans Highway and Grawtown Road.

The project, expected to be built over the next few years, will include 482 single-family homes on approximately 9,000 square-foot (0.20 acre) lots, as well as 96 affordable housing units, 77 of which will have two bedrooms, and 19 with three bedrooms. Those affordable units will be in 24 buildings, each one containing four units.

The approval of the conforming application comes amid concerns about traffic on East Veterans. To alleviate some of those concerns, the plans note that a traffic signal has already been approved for the intersection of E. Veterans and Grawtown Road, and that the signal will have to be functional by the time the 101st single-family home receives a certificate of occupancy.

The approval also comes on top of a previous approval given to a separate 250-home development off E. Veterans and Whitesville Road. Site work for that development has not yet begun.

    • I know alot of people dont like the fact that developers want to build and many want to move in. But the application completely conforms.

  1. When people need some peace and tranquility, they generally do not go to areas that are urban and have high traffic density. The urbanization of our area has and will continue to have a deleterious effect on the psychological, spiritual and mental health of the local Citizenry.
