Last big Hixson farm sold for development:
[A]bout 10 acres of the farm are in wetlands, but the remainder will be developed into single-family homes and townhomes. "It will be an upper-end development similar to our Belleau Woods in East Brainerd. The total value after it is completed could be up to $75 million." ...
County Commissioner Charlotte Vandergriff said, "I am delighted that Julian Bell has acquired this property. I believe this will be the appropriate development for this beautiful property rather than big box commercial."
As opposed to keeping it beautiful, right?
