Townhomes could soon be coming to an vacant lot in Castle Hayne.
A proposed development would bring 50 attached townhomes to 3001 Blueclay Road, a more than 8.5 acre piece of land bordered by single family homes and an industrial area.
The New Hanover County Planning Board will hold a public hearing Thursday on a rezoning request required to accommodate the proposed townhomes.
Cindee Wolf, the owner of Design Solutions, submitted an application to change the lot’s zoning from R-20 residential district to a conditional zoning district designation. Wolf is representing the parcel s owner, TF Holdings, Limited Partnership, according to the application.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY – As interest rates for county borrowings continue to decline, New Hanover is looking to finance its new government center through public debt rather than leasing the future building from the developer as it originally agreed to.
In June the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners approved a development agreement with Wilmington-based
Cape Fear FD Stonewater, LLC for the project. In that contract, the county agreed to lease the constructed facility from the developer.
