Description

Southport Crossing is back on the table with a revised plan for 110 townhomes—down from the previously rejected 130—after years of shifting designs and community pushback. Originally envisioned as a massive development with over 300 units and sprawling commercial space, the project has been scaled back multiple times, most recently to 60 units in 2019. Now, developers argue fewer homes mean less strain on roads and infrastructure, with added open space and reduced impervious surfaces. Concerns about traffic, flooding, and existing capacity still loom large, but this updated proposal includes parking, buffers, and more green space than required. The planning board meets this week to hear the new pitch—and the public’s response could decide the future of this long-waiting project.
