Ever heard of it? (How about Calvin Hall Subdivision?)
This was another Mick Mulvaney development that was going to usher Lancaster County into a new age of prosperity. (It didn't happen).
Mick Mulvaney put this one together while he was running for SC House -- and after he was elected. During that time, Mick Mulvaney was able to convince Lancaster County Council to rezone his property from 1.5 units per acre to 2.5 units per acre. Hey . . . it's hard to say no to your Representative, right?
This rezoning would allow Mick Mulvaney to build 133 units on the property instead of the 81 units it was zoned for.
County Council approved Mulvaney's request against the recommendation of its own planning staff. Hey - it's hard to tell your State Rep he can't have what he wants, right?
Mulvaney promised to pay Lancaster County $5,000 per unit during a closed door "work session."
Later, it was disclosed that Mulvaney did not actually own the property when he got it rezoned.
According to the Development Agreement, the first 30 units in this development are supposed to be completed (and the County is supposed to be paid $150,000 in fees for these units) by the end of 2008.
Think it's gonna happen? Not likely. Only 10 lots have been sold thusfar.
