The End of Development

As you read this, Roy Carroll has earth moving equipment extending Jessup Grove Road on the east side of Horse Pen Creek Road. Here and there, local developers continue to pretend it’s business as usual. Primarily, they build because it’s all they know how to do.

Sandra Anderson Groat
