A new town is popping up right in the middle of Washington County.
Well, not exactly, but as Michael Bradwell’s cover story in this edition notes, construction continues to move forward by leaps and bounds on the Town Center project in Southpointe II. Not only will the project provide new office space, but those who live and work in and around Southpointe will be able to avail themselves of many new dining, shopping, residential and recreational options once the entire project comes to fruition.
It’s a sure sign that when it comes to Southpointe II, growth is far from over.
As Horizon Properties principal Michael Swisher so aptly put it, “We’re building a little city here.”
I’m sure I speak for many in the area when I reply, “Can’t wait to visit.”
