Initial/primary attraction will likey be people with children already in the schools. And to help recruit long term employees who want their children in the charter schools.

A (walkable) commercial center is under construction in Middleton. Plenty of shopping in Clermount or Leesburg far easier to reach than 441. Probably more to come in the commercial property zoned near 470/Turnpike.

The reality is that prison is quieter than a National Park and safer than being near the commercial strips along 441.

I look forward to the opportunity to attend high school football games and maybe the theatrical/musical performances of the students.
I hope you are right. Really. I want to see it being successful, and maybe at some point convincing my kids to move in.

But right now I'm skeptical. Let's see how things go.
