Report: 22 Acres at Concord/Parkway Intersection Sell Ends Annexation Consideration

The property on the corner of Concord Road and the East-West Parkway the City of Anderson was considering for annexation is no longer on the market.
The 22-acre plot was purchased Thursday by long-time Anderson businessman Randolph Hayes who reportedly has no plans for the land other than he does not plan to sell the property to developers. Hayes, who lives in the are and owns other property there, is also expected to discuss the current drainage issues with Anderson County for future improvements.
The city's consideration of development, which a spokesperson for city said is based on interest by developers, would have included rezoning to allow mixed development and dense housing units on the site, which has struggled with drainage issues in the subdivisions downstream of the property since the construction of the parkway. The plans would have been a reversal of the county's strict zoning for single-family residential housing promised neighbors along the three-mile four-lane road.
