The zoning has already been approved for the homes and commercial locations. That is why this land has been sold because it is worth more as houses and businesses than it is as a racetrack. I'm sure the next two years will be spent planning the future site plans ang getting them approved and not getting the zoning changed.

That's an accident waiting to happen (there are accidents, but not yet the "big one" aka , fatality) More traffic would be deadly. My kid is at UHS and drives daily to school. Let me tell you that my heart skips a beat every time I hear that life flight helicopter on weekday mornings.

Maybe that is why it's going to take 2 years to break ground, they will have to do some creative traffic and infrastructure planning.

It sounds like a nightmare to me. And if the homes they build are anything like the ones in the Villages of Urbana and the Highlands, you are right about the high cost. This part of town does not need any more McMansions. I drive on 80 all the time and I don’t see how that road can support any more traffic at certain times of the day.
