FuturePlan
This FuturePlan is based upon the
current comprehensive plan, which, until now, has largely supported unregulated
growth and development in the county. This plan proposes to disperse
most new growth outside of the quickly-crowding urban areas of Vermillion
and Silver Cliff toward the smaller, hillside towns of Mineral and Crimson.
Since plans are already underway to develop these two areas, the FuturePlan includes the zoning of two additional planned developments, Crimson
View and Mineral Mountain Village, outside of each of the original town
sites. Such development would require building two additional roads
into each of the developments to allow greater ease of travel to highway
128, which runs between the two larger urban areas. These two proposed
roads, running north from Mineral and south from Crimson, would meet
Rt. 128 between Vermillion and Silver Cliff at a proposed regional
business complex, Wamanasa Center, which would provide essential goods
and services to and accommodate the needs of the new residential developments.
This second major development would include a high-profile shopping
center, introducing to the region many new national chains for the first
time. It would also feature a high-tech business park that is slated
to bring in two prominent leaders in the computer technology industry.
This development would involve widening 128 and would concentrate much
of the commerce of the region to this newly-planned growth area. It
would expand the existing small town of Wamassa to include new commercial
and residential zoning. |
