Middlesex County Seeks Developer Interest for Latimore Property Near Saluda

Middlesex County officials are exploring development possibilities for the Latimore property along Route 33 between Cooks Corner and Saluda. Purchased in 2006 for a now-abandoned sewage facility, the land includes adjacent frontage acquired in 2022 to improve access. The county sent out a request for proposals to gauge private sector interest in residential or commercial projects. Challenges include extending water and sewer lines, with costs potentially exceeding $1 million. County leaders say they are trying to determine if development is feasible, though they caution that Middlesex lacks the infrastructure driving growth in neighboring areas.
