SAY NO ANSLEY PARK (#NOAP)!
Ansley Park could add 309 Indian Land homes near the corner of Marvin Road and Henry Harris Road in Indian Land. That means, more crowded schools, more crowded roads and our fire and police protected stretched even thinner.
The Ansley Park developer will provide just $500 per house to the county school district and $1000 for safety.
An impact fee of $500 for schools may sound good, but schools cost a lot more than the $155,000 that the developer will be contributing. Our latest bond initiative has two new schools in Indian Land will cost up to $126 million. That’s $4500 per household in the entire county!
So we pay $4500 and the developer pays $500? Sounds fair right?
#NOAP!
Neighboring Fort Mill which has some of the leading schools in the state of South Carolina charges $2500 per new home for schools and various other impact fees on builders to offset costs and share the burden of growth.Why do we let developers pay less here just a few miles away? Make them share the burden or tell them don't build.
No funds are requested for roads except a turn lane. So the traffic impact of these new residents will be our burden not the developer's.
Say NO to ANSLEY PARK (#NOAP). Send a message to Lancaster County, sign up for a #NOAP vote today to slow our hypergrowth!

The developers think they can just throw us crumbs while they destroy our local infrastructure. We are watching the county officials hide behind their desks instead of doing their jobs to protect our community.

The momentum we have built makes it clear that the people of this county are finished with being fleeced by developers. Lancaster County officials cannot ignore the growing outrage over these pathetic impact fees. We are officially putting them on notice.

Frankly, I'm sick and tired of all these new housing developments springing up before proper infrastructure is in place. How about taking a cue from York Co. and enacting a housing freeze? Those poor schools and roads really can't handle any additional people right now. Respectfully yours, Claudia Wolff
The amount of developer contribution is abominable. This is partly why Indian Land has a terrible rep for school. Your funding is abysmal.
Take Marvin to Johnston/521 any morning of the week during rush hour and the traffic is horrendous. This development would only make this situation worse. Please do not follow the footsteps of Union (NC) and Mecklenburg (NC) Counties in pathetic planning and strained infrastructure.
The schools are already overcrowded as it is. This is the 2nd year of operation for Harrisburg elementary and it is already overcrowded. Stop building houses!
The Marvin Road and 521 intersection currently has a grade "F" based on congestion and other factors. That should be addressed before approving development that would add more traffic to that intersection.
Heavy traffic issues already. No plans to resolve.
No more! Our town cannot sustain this development. Traffic is already a mess. What's left of our wildlife is at risk. Stop this madness. Our infrastructure has to be able to catch up.

Until the bond referendum passes and we have a plan for additional schools, I cannot support any new developments in Indian Land.
