New Sprawl for Cola

[Spartan]

THE PROPOSAL

Developers are proposing a 27-hole golf course with 2,500 residential units for the West Wateree area in Kershaw County. The project would be built on 1,143 acres parallel to Whiting Way, the frontage road on I-20 between Exit 87 in Elgin and Exit 92 in Lugoff.

According to plans the developers

I believe there was follow up on this in the paper. Evidently the

first developer proposed something in the past without the

necessary funding. I recall a Kershaw councilman said something

like this.

Now Mungo should have enough cash to develop every parcel

in the county.

I got the impression that it wasnt Mungo. But if it is, I can't say I'm suprised.

over the next years, seeing all the development aimed for the west columbia side of the vista, i think the next sprawl after the lexington and north east side, will be going towards orangeburg and the lower richland side. thats were the most undeveloped land is at, and the ways things are going it might be the only side of columbia with mass acres of untouched land.

[krazeeboi]

From lower Richland to Orangeburg is a pretty big jump. Calhoun County is still largely rural, I would think that the northern part of the county would get some spillover from lower Richland.
