slide4slide6 The Jackson Hills Golf Course Community will appear before the Planning Commission tonight. The much debated project has been in the works for over 5 years. The last time the project appeared before the Commission they asked that staff develop facts and findings for the project and suggested that a special meeting be held to solely discuss Jackson Hills. Staff is expected to return with their findings of fact and the Commission could possibly make their recommendation to the City Council as to whether or not to approve the project. According to the developer, New Faze Development, the Jackson Hills project is the result of a community-oriented planning process that will have economic contributions and long term tax benefits to Jackson as well as provide a source of funding for community road improvements, schools, utilities, and fire and police protection. However, members in the community are worried about the impacts that a development of this size may have on the City of Jackson and its infrastructure. Most mentioned concerns have been the amount of traffic this development will bring, its affect on the current sewer situation, as well as the concern that Jackson Hills will not be paying for its impacts on the local community. The Community will have an opportunity tonight to have all of their concerns addressed by both the Developer New Faze Development and the Commission. The meeting begins at 6pm.
