Chipola Airpark subdivision plan expands

Plans have been expanded for a proposed subdivision which will have a grass runway for the property owners to use.
The Chipola Airpark subdivision will lie partially in Greenwood and partially on the outskirts in unincorporated Jackson County.
On Tuesday, developers were granted preliminary plat modification that expands the original plan on the county side. They will be allowed to build 17 instead of the originally approved six lots on that portion. Each will measure approximately three quarters of a acre.
The county’s planning staff and the planning board concurred on a recommendation to approve the change.
The subdivision, being developed by Suneva, Inc.,  is to be located off Willis Road.
Under current plans, it would be served by Greenwood’s public water system and each lot would have its own septic system. According to documents submitted by the developer, the portion of the subdivision which lies outside the city limits would be developed first, then the part inside Greenwood.
