A 670-acre housing and commercial proposal between Midland Road and Highway 30 is headed to Effingham County commissioners, but it has not been approved. The county planning board voted Tuesday to recommend the Salzburg Trails plan, which calls for 1,000 single-family homes, a 35-acre commercial village, trails and recreational areas.
Residents raised concerns about traffic, flooding and overcrowding during Tuesday’s county commission meeting. Commissioners are scheduled to consider the proposal Dec. 1.
The developer says construction could begin as soon as 2028 and the project could take more than a decade to complete. Land is reportedly being set aside for a potential elementary school, fire station and library.
