Development of the lake is pretty much left up to the two landowners, APCo and Russell Lands. While I have no idea how much these two control, I would guess it exceeds 95% of the undeveloped waterfront. The Ridge, the last Russell project, seems to be owned almost exclusively by weekenders and the homes are priced such that full time retirees may not choose as retirement locations, so where do you expand the lake's base. I feel the retirement, full time owner is the market that has been terribly overlooked by developers, real estate, and cities in trouble like AC. The lake economy cannot survive on weekenders, so the powers that be would do well to promote this area as a retirement haven. Russell could help itself by developing and promoting a reasonably priced area designed especially for the retirement age folks. Replace unemployed mill workers with good middle class retirees.
