Chris Shee is founder
and CEO of MasterCraft Builder Group. He's putting together
a plan to bring new development to the area using more than
2,700 acres. He said his vision will take the southern end
of the county to new heights.
“I want to bring a high-quality development that is very
well thought out, very well planned and is the right thing
for the community,” Shee said.
Shee’s vision includes 3,700 homes, 1,000,000 square feet of
office and industrial space, 600 hotel rooms, and 3,000,000
square feet of commercial retail. Shee said that can include
churches and religious institutions. His hope is to also
bring public parks, kayak trails, and bike paths. 27 acres
have also been earmarked for a potential school site if it
is needed. He said he expects to have more talks with the
school district to determine if the area selected is the
right spot for a school.
With new homeowners, workers and visitors, Shee is also
thinking about traffic. That’s why he also wants to include
a new interchange on I-95 between S.R. 207 and 206. He says
this would connect with local roads and ease congestion in
the area.
“We will be clearing up and cleaning up the majority of
those issues,” Shee said. “Almost 15,000 residents that live
right there in the area will have a direct connection to
I-95.
Shee has submitted
applications to the county and he says he wants to meet with
residents in the area, including homeowner’s associations.
Overall, he says the approval process for the development
will take at least a year and a half. His plan is to name is
Parris Farms. |
