Developer reveals its plan for St. George airport site

I certainly hope Anderson Development makes better progress in St. George than they have in Lindon Utah on the former Geneva Steel Mill site. While I am glad it is gone, no plan and no development has yet happened. St. George deserves a carefully detailed master plan and the City should hold Anderson to it when development begins.

I just hope their development isn't ANOTHER eyesore on the hills of St. George.

LOLOL...just what St. George needs...more luxury homes no one wants to go into the 10 year inventory they have stacked up now!

The high end shopping/ DSC campus extension plan was rejected why, now?

It sounds like Anderson and St. George are counting on the state taking all the project's risk by footing the bill for construction and development. Then, when the work is done and the financial risk has been taken and eliminated, Anderson will step in with funds (likely borrowed) to purchase the developed property. This is a very good deal for any developer. Some might call it a "cream-puff" deal.

Anderson has had a lot of contoversy and Law suits on other projects he has been involved with, I hope those involved proceed very carefully on this deal!!!

Typical for the all-powerful Government/Developer complex. Profits and glory for a few, at the expense of the community as a whole. Just let the taxpayers foot the bill, as long as someone is going to make money!

Say goodbye to the natural beauty of Dixie!

Hmm... I'm a little concerned about this move, but I really hope they do a good job of keeping some of the space open for public use, especially around the temple quarry trailhead on the current park up there. As for the housing, I hope they have efficient home plans because the heat up there in the summer is brutal.

It's not surprising that the shopping and DSC extension option was denied. For one, the college is very careful to keep all their buildings etc close together at the campus within walking distance. Shopping up there I think would be a nightmare. The road up the hill is jammed enough on the fourth of July, I would hate to see what it would be with tons of consistent traffic.

Just do not get blown off the mesa. It is always windy up there.
