Planning Board - Sep 22, 2026
Veer Development wants to build roughly 100 townhomes on nine acres near Sam Furr Road and Old Statesville Road at transit-oriented densities. Supporters say it's the homeownership product and density the 2040 Plan calls for in the mixed-use center; critics say the town is granting density before the walking and infrastructure plans for the station exist.
