Ideally any new significant commercial area would have good access for car, truck, and golf cart access and be eventually surrounded by residential areas. This type of planning is now showing itself at the Rohan and Brownwood areas as the new development is now being revealed and starting to take shape. CR470 West of the Turnpike would fit this mold well for another townsquare. You would have over 15 square miles of development surrounding that location to support it and good access roads in place from four directions.
They already own a substantial amount of land west of the 301/468 intersection on both sides of 301 heading south in Coleman and beyond. My guess is there will be either commercial/retail or medical down there. On the west side of 301 in Coleman they own land that runs along the tracks so that won't be residential.
