Site for Country Crossing finalized
March 13, 2008
All contracts signed.
—Just off 231 South, then South of State Highway 109, near Smithville Road.
—Site will be 776 acres
—Negotiations for 16 parcels of land between 6 or 7 landowners
—Price of the property was not disclosed
—What’s next: The final signatures were placed on the contract Thursday afternoon. Developer Ronnie Gilley had hoped to have the land deal done by last Friday, but negotiations with multiple landowners slowed the process, he said.
The next step will be the creation of a Capital Improvement Cooperative District—a partnership between Houston County and Ronnie Gilley’s acquisition company, Resorts Development Group—to facilitate the project. The district must be created through an act of the Houston County Commission
