(Richmond, IN)--More housing is being planned in a busy part of Richmond. The proposed development is on 19 acres of land on Backmeyer Road directly south of Walmart and adjacent to South 37th Street. Right now there are 30 proposed lots, although specific plans could change as the project progresses. Here is the Cincinnati developer addressing the Richmond Area Plan Commission on Wednesday: "It'll be something we'll be proud of." Thursday’s hearing was only to address a zoning change and did not deal with specifics of the project including impacts on traffic. The Commission gave a positive recommendation for the zoning change, but Richmond Common Council will have the final say.
