Burson & Simpson Plans $57-Mil Project

ATLANTA-Neighboring Paulding County is getting the attention of developers as its population starts to swell and traffic congestion accelerates on all arteries leading to and from Atlanta.

ATLANTA-Burson & Simpson Investments Inc. feels it has found a niche in Paulding County, eight miles east of Downtown Atlanta and already starting to swell (81,678) with new residents.

Atlanta-based Burson & Simpson has a $57-million mixed-use project on its drawing boards in suburban Hiram, GA (Pop. 5,160). Developer Joe Horton envisions his 730-acre gated Governor’s Club, planned for 500 homes and 29 acres of retail at the Cobb-Paulding county line, will also pass muster with the county.

Paulding county commissioners review a proposal on sewer rates this week that would permit Cobb County to deliver water to Horton’s subdivision while Paulding treats the wastewater at a new plant three miles from Governor’s Club. The development is off Cedarcrest Road and west of US 41.
