Chestnut Springs workforce housing development

Burke County

Summary

Two veteran brothers want to build 85 entry-level homes ($250K-$300K) on Miller Bridge Road, but the Indian Hills sewer pump station only has capacity for about 150 more homes countywide. The MOU phases their sewer use so the project can start without starving other future developments.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Replacing the pump station would cost roughly $10 million; the MOU itself commits no county dollars.

✅Who benefits

First-time homebuyers seeking workforce-priced housing in eastern Burke County, and the county's tax base.

⚠️Who could be affected

Other future eastern-county developments could face sewer capacity constraints if the pump station isn't upgraded.
