South Murphy Creek

Here is the new development planned for south of Jewell Avenue and east of Gun Club.  The official name at this point is called "Murphy Creek PA-28", but Murphy Creek South sounds better.  This map is looking east, with Jewell Avenue on the left side of the map.

And here is what the area looks like now.  This is rotated so it is looking north.  You can see the curvy street in the middle of the map which is South Flatrock Trail.

How soon will this be built?  I can't find anything.  The developer is Meritage Homes so their website may have more information.  This hasn't been approved yet.  I would guess it will be approved in mid-2021, and construction would start in spring 2022 and it should be finished by summer 2023.  But that is just a guess.

This project could be killed by concerns over toxic water spreading north from the Lowry landfill site, which is just to the south.  But the planning documents don't mention anything about that.
