Sugar Hill selling land for commercial development

The Sugar Hill City Council agreed Monday to sell four parcels of land in the downtown area for future commercial development. The land, known as the Heather Pines/Bailey Property, is located along Ga. Highway 20.

The agreement allows the city to sell the property to the Sugar Hill Downtown Development Authority for a minimum of $3.5 million. In turn, the SHDDA will work with Solomon Development Services to develop the tract. Plans include a facility for independent and assisted living, as well as a restaurant. Construction is expected to take 150 days once all contracts are in place.
