According to reports from The Cherokee Ledger-News, Canton city commissioners have voted to recommend approval of the Canton West Development. The development will consist of new homes and commercial property. Canton West will develop property in the Canton city limits and in unincorporated Cherokee county. A proposed 6-mile parkway from Marietta Hwy to Hwy 108, near Waleska, is called for in the plan. The plan also calls for 3500 homes in total and over 625,000 square feet of commercial space. 2,132 homes are planned for the Canton city limits. This would include a mixture of attached and detached housing over a 910-acre track of land. The county portion of the development consists of a 1,430-acre track of land. Many residents are opposed to this new development due to fears of the impact on the city and surrounding area. Despite the sagging economy and slower home sales, I think it is a positive sign for Cherokee county. Developers continue to be aggressive about investing all over Cherokee. Cherokee is poised for a steady growth of residents over the fore-casted future and developers keep planning to meet those needs. Great Sky, Laurel Canyon, Silver Creek, Little Bear, and Lake Arrowhead have all added to the area over the last few years. New home sales are down but continue to clip along at a nice pace.
