We are taking a brief detour from our originally scheduled multipart series on the history of Save Davidson and the Beaty property to bring you important information about a proposed development project happening in the Town of Davidson. There are various concerns about this high-density development.

Crescent Acquisitions, LLC Proposes to develop a 15 acre site located on Potts Street in Davidson (On the way out of Davidson towards 115 and the YMCA where the trees create a beautiful, natural tunnel headed toward Cornelius). The proposed development is to accommodate construction of 250 multi-family residences, which consists of 8 buildings plus an amenity building.

In 2017, citizens voiced concerns about the scale of the project and the process the Town of Davidson planning department followed (or didn’t follow), including citizen concern that ordinances were changed to accommodate this project. In an effort to stop this inappropriate development, the newly elected Town Board denied the extension of sewer and water to the site, which resulted in Crescent Acquisitions, LLC filing a lawsuit against the Town of Davidson. Incidentally, and of particular interest, Save Davidson was mentioned in the lawsuit for activating and educating citizens on the topic.
