MEBANE, N.C. (WGHP) – A new mixed-use development with homes and a shopping center could potentially be coming to Mebane.
The proposed site is across Interstate 40-85 from where North Carolina’s first Buc-Ees will be located.
The Koury Corporation wants to build 645 apartment units, 38 townhomes and a shopping center on an 83-acre site on Trollingwood Hawfields Road at Rowland Lane and Third Street Extension.
On Monday, the city’s planning board will decide if they want to recommend the site for the proposed development for rezoning.
John Smith moved to Mebane two years ago from Winston-Salem. He said the city has grown significantly since he made the move. Smith thinks the Koury Corporation’s proposed mixed-use development would be a great addition to the city.
“I think it’s going to be phenomenal once we get to the end result of that. You have more people providing a big opportunity for Mebane to grow and continue to do what it’s been doing for the last ten, 15 years,” Smith said.
