During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around a proposed residential development in Heritage Grove, led by Brandon DeYoung of DeYoung Properties. DeYoung expressed enthusiasm for the project, which has been in the works for nearly two decades, emphasizing the significance of this development for his family’s legacy in homebuilding.

The proposal includes plans for single-family residential homes, with a requirement for reciprocal access to be established when the property is developed. This stipulation aims to ensure connectivity and accessibility within the neighborhood, although the specifics of the access plan remain to be detailed.

DeYoung praised the collaborative efforts of city staff, highlighting their creativity in planning the development without a gated community, which aligns with the city’s vision for open and accessible neighborhoods. The public hearing was opened for further comments, indicating a step forward in the approval process for this long-awaited project.
