Harrodsburg Road (US 68) is currently being widened to 4 lanes to the "Y" intersection leading to Wilmore. The cost is at least $50 million+ for this road that we cant afford to drive our cars on! The proposed golf course development with 660 McMansions is to be built in a very rural area lacking any city services. Planning and zoning voted against it, but Wilmore annexed the property anyway! I wonder who will buy these houses as Jessamine County has already drastically over-built hundreds of expensive homes in the last few years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885635.post-1130549693845228092005-10-28T21:34:00.000-04:002005-10-28T21:34:00.000-04:00Err...didn't US 27 go straight <EM>through</EM> Nicholasville? Which is why Main Street is called "Business 27" and the strip that goes around Nicholasville is called the "Bypass"...<BR/><BR/>:><BR/><BR/>Anyway, yes, it's true that if you want to live in a rural area, it's not good to stay that close to a growing city. I expect Mr. Mickelson wanted the convenience of Nicholasville and Lexington without having to deal with city life. Lots of people share that sentiment. I'm not sure it's possible to find a place that will let you have your cake and eat it too...at least, not for long.Heather Meadowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04962932701620185508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885635.post-1130548302581219342005-10-28T21:11:00.000-04:002005-10-28T21:11:00.000-04:00Far as I know, a good stretch of 68 is still considered a "scenic" route, which is between Wilmore and the new expansion. Far as I figure, they can't turn it into a four lane there because of that, and so it's like that they won't be building too much there either.<BR/><BR/>I could be completely wrong, but as of right now, I don't see any real negatives about what they've done. With all hope, it'll lessen accidents, and it certainly helps for when you're stuck behind a damn tractor.<BR/><BR/>But Jessamine County, whether it stays apart from Fayette or not, is going to keep growing. Remember - when we were children and lived at the trailer park, US 27 didn't even connect to Nicholasville.<BR/><BR/>Anybody buying a house five miles out and expecting to have it all private there forever is just stupid.AJnoreply@blogger.com
