Quad Cities Planning and Development, comprised of four Jackson County municipalities, is scheduled to review the rezoning request next week. The Jefferson City Council will publicly discuss the proposal for the first time Aug. 4.

Area construction industry estimators tell GlobeSt.com the proposed mixed-use development would have an estimated build-out value of at least $75 million. They base their figure, in part, on an estimated $80,000-per-unit construction cost for the 92 apartments and an average $100,000-per-unit construction cost on the 437 single-family homes.

About 178 acres along both sides of the North Oconee River would be preserved for parks, according to the report. A total of 525 acres are located in the city of Jefferson. The landowners are asking the city to annex the remaining 30 acres outside the city.
