Jacquemin Farms, a popular flower and produce farm on Hyland-Croy Road may soon be converted into a new development containing shops and apartments, the Dispatch reports. Schottenstein Real Estate Group recently submitted plans to develop the property. If the plans are approved, the Jacquemin Family will still continue to operate a small market on the property, but will grow their goods elsewhere. The farm was originally a sod farm, but over time the Jacquemin family converted the property into a popular destination for school trips and family outings.

 

According to The Columbus Dispatch, the Scottenstein Group's submitted plans call for the land to be developed in three parts. The first part, comprised of 36 acres, will be used to build 300 rental units, made up of both apartments and townhomes. The second part, comprised of 11 acres, will be dedicated to a senior assisted-living facility. The third part, comprised of 11.5 acres, will become two retail centers.

 

Although the Schottenstein Group has submitted their plans, the township's zoning board has yet to reach a decision on if the development will occur. The board is said to be considering the traffic impact of such a project, and has put the request on their agenda for their July 27^th meeting.
