Bond landmark for big Williamson development
The development group that took over the ambitious Laurel Cove project scuttled by the 2008 financial crisis say they have invested enough in infrastructure and the Greg Norman golf course to be given a lower performance bond by Williamson County planners. Terra Verde officials say their bond is now half of what it was when they started work in earnest late last year. Construction of the first of 800 homes at what is now called The Grove is scheduled to start in May.
“We are investing $25 million without any debt or letters of credit,” said Mark Enderle, a Leiper’s Fork resident who is one of the investors in the project. “We appreciate the Planning Commission’s recognition of what we have accomplished in a very short time, and we look forward to passing more milestones quickly.”
