A developer has proposed building 200 single-family homes on two neighboring properties off U.S. 221 in between Goode and Forest.
Thomas Bell, of Thomas Builders of Virginia, has requested the rezoning of more than 180 acres adjacent to Gladden Circle and Everett Road from agricultural residential to low-density residential.
This is the second significant residential development Bell has sought permission to build in the county in recent months. In March, the Bedford County Planning Commission recommended approval for Bell’s plans to develop more than 400 townhomes, apartments and houses in Forest off U.S. 221, about two miles east of Gladden Circle.
