STEELE
CREEK NEWS The 1,000-acre business and residential development is expected to include over 2,800 homes in various price ranges, 2 million square feet of commercial space, and a 215 acre district park. The development generally contains three parts. In the middle is the 170-acre town center, containing offices, shops, and restaurants. Western and southern sections will contain various communities of detached and attached residences. On the northeast side will be a 215 acre district park. (See story.) A site also has been reserved for a future school. The first major construction project is a sewage plant, which is necessary to support the other development. Residences will begin to be completed in late 2003, about the time sewer service will be available. The town center is planned to be constructed in 2005. Also planned for 2005 is the reconstruction of the Steele Creek Road/Shopton Road West intersection. A new road will be constructed from this intersection north between the Masonic lodge and Baptist Church into the town center. Dixie River Road will be realigned through the development. (See story with a map on the Dixie-Berryhill thoroughfare plan.)
