A developer filed a state Development of Regional Impact application for a 669-acre mixed-use community on Midland Road and Highway 30 in unincorporated Effingham County, proposing about 1,000 homes, a public school, and roughly 300,000 square feet of commercial space.

Why it matters

The scale of the proposal triggers Georgia's regional-impact review, so the Coastal Regional Commission weighs in on roads, water, sewer, and schools before Effingham County can act on any rezoning tied to the site.

What to watch

The Coastal Regional Commission reviews the filing and sends findings back to Effingham County, which still has to take up any rezoning or permit request before the project can move forward.
