PORT ORCHARD, WA-Following an eight-year push, McCormick Land Co. has finally obtained the approval that will allow for expansion of its master planned community. Despite opposition from some who claim too much of south Kitsap County’s population will be concentrated in the area, the way has been laid for McCormick to expand its existing 1,300-acre development by an additional 619 acres.

Although one county commissioner, Chris Endresen, remained opposed, the county has given thumbs up to plans that will allow for an urban village to be built up around the existing project, McCormick Woods, which was begun in 1986.

Linda Niebanck, president of McCormick Land Co., tells GlobeSt.com the concept for the expanded community (McCormick West) will include up to 90-acres (gross) for a business park, ten for neighborhood commercial space, and expand residential numbers to a total of 4,172 homes, including the 1,139 already approved (and partially completed) within McCormick Woods.
