January 19, 2023:  Traceway Bridge Work (left and right just past Gatehouse) –  Possible Traffic Delays
Taking advantage of the low water level in the lake, the bridge work is scheduled to start this Monday, January 23. Contractors have built a platform under the south bridge and have a pontoon for work to be done under the north bridge. The work will include sandblasting and welding. There will be traffic control in place at times which may cause minor delays crossing the bridges.

January 19, 2023: Zoning Communication Received
To follow up on the information packet sent by the CTA Treasurer on January 19, we received additional information about the proposed zoning change during phone calls with the Lee County Planning and Community Development Office in Sanford and a representative from the company that is proposing the rezoning. 

The proposed rezoning next door to Carolina Trace is for the purpose of developing up to 672 apartments and 74 townhomes with an eventual small commercial lot south of Sandhills Realty. The proposal includes set-backs from Carolina Trace properties, ranging from 50’ to 150’.

This is an early stage plan with the first “meeting with the neighbors” to be held on January 24, 5-7 p.m., at the Wicker Center (1801 Nash Street, Sanford). CTA will have representation at this meeting to raise questions and report back on concerns. This meeting is open to the public so anyone is welcome to attend. The public hearing for the rezoning will take place February 21, 2023.
