I'm not an insider, but here is what I understand of this project. As you probably already know from discussions, Russell is planning a new phase to the Ridge involving upscale cabins...I'm not sure of exact boundaries, but I believe it goes a little further west than the area you mentioned. What I do know from experience is that a development and a planned neighborhood is more complicated than some believe. The whole area involved must be surveyed and subdivided. Roads, lots, utilities, and waste disposal must all be considered and then developed. Desired covenants and restrictions need to be attached to the deeded product. To do this correctly for a planned community, it can't really be done a little bit at a time. Russell is doing this for what they believe is a good business decision for their current and future interest in the area.....can't say I agree or disagree with that business decision, but time will tell. Overrall I think it will be good for the area and local economy, but I can understand why some are unhappy they lost their piece of the pie.
