Who's Moving All That Dirt???

Out on Rt. 13 next to Midway Chevrolet, there is a lot of dirt being moved around and it is exciting to see!

Mr. Harold Scriminger is the owner/developer of the 40 acre parcel which was annexed into the city last year. He will be extending water service to the parcel as well which will be a big boost for the city to have water services moving down the highway.

Plans call for a parkway to run from the highway to Old Virginia Road with access points for future development on either side. A motel and Wa Wa style store would face the highway and multiple clusters of professional/retail units would be available off of the parkway. This type of connectivity with other properties and the encouragement of secondary roadways is exactly where the city is headed based upon our Comprehensive Plan.

It has taken Mr. Scriminger a lot of work thus far to secure all of the necessary permits to accomplish this project, but he is well on his way to making it a reality! Great news for the city!
