New high school opening in Fort Mill

lkw_df — Thu, 04 May 2017 20:38:31 +0000

Fort Mill’s growing community and thriving Saint Anne Catholic School mean big changes for the local school.

A new high school will be opening in Fort Mill this fall, as Saint Anne High School will be moving from its Rock Hill campus to Saint Philip Neri Catholic Church in Fort Mill. Only the high school will be held at the Fort Mill church, while pre-K through middle school classes will still be held at Saint Anne Catholic School in Rock Hill.

In 2012, Saint Anne was accredited, and in 2014, it expanded to include pre-kindergarten all the way through grade 12. The high school originally began with only six students and is now up to 50. They have been looking for more space for over a year and have finally found it at the Saint Philip Neri Catholic Church. The school as a whole is up to approximately 350 total students.

The school’s move fills a practical need, as it clearly needed more space, and it is also representative of the growing Fort Mill population and community. Feedback from the community has been extremely positive and parents of the Saint Anne students have supported the move. Saint Anne has students from Charlotte, Chester, Fort Mill, Indian Land, Lake Wylie and York, as well as Rock Hill.

For more details and information on this new school’s move and expansion and what it means for the Fort Mill community, be sure to read the full article at Heraldonline.com.

More potential development for Lake Wylie, Fort Mill and more

lkw_df — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 03:04:32 +0000

Plenty of residential and commercial development is on the horizon in Lake Wylie, Fort Mill and all over York County. Many projects are still in the planning phases, but locals could expect some big changes around town.

Lake Wiley’s Mill Creek Commons could be the potential new site for a new apartment community right across from the Harpers Green subdivision. This will be a significant residential addition as Mill Creek Commons is already home to many commercial retailers, including Walmart, Lowe’s, McDonald’s, Bank of America, Wachovia, Walgreens and Zaxby’s.

Furthermore, the 13-acre Public Storage site at the corner of Bonum Road and SC 49 could be home to even more new mini warehouses.

Fort Mill may be getting a new vet clinic at the North Carolina state line just off of Hamilton Place. Also in Fort Mill, a 5,000 square-foot space at 3004 US could undergoing a change from retail space to restaurant space.

There are also talks of building a 157-lot subdivision in the Rock Hill area just east of Hands Mill Highway. County planners are also discussing expanding another home subdivision at Shadow Lane and Brush Creek Road, and expanding a single-family subdivision west of SC 901.

These are just a few of the projects that county and city planners are deliberating over. For more details on these potential developments and others in the area, be sure to read the full article at heraldonline.com.

Lake Wylie eyes Rock Hill’s electric bus plan

lkw_df — Sun, 05 Feb 2017 20:05:35 +0000

There is a new trend in public transportation that is happening just across the Catawba River from Lake Wylie, Fort Mill and Tega Cay, that will hopefully be making its way all around the region. Electric buses are soon going to hit the scene in the city of Rock Hill. These buses not only limit environmental pollution, but they feature Wi-Fi and charging stations in addition to seamlessly connecting residents around the city with downtown stops. Plus, this will be a free service for riders.

With so much development happening in the Lake Wylie area, the options for entertainment, dining and shopping continue to grow while transportation to and from these locations gets more and more difficult. Traffic on the major local highways and thoroughfares as well as the lack of available parking, is certainly a deterrent.

Public transportation would cut down on traffic, eliminate the frustration of trying to find parking, and would greatly reduce environmental emissions. More so, the public transportation is great for businesses and would be a tremendous boost to the local economy.

There are many details that would need to be worked out among the three municipalities of Fort Mill, Tega Cay and York County. Hopefully, what’s about to get underway in Rock Hill can also become a reality on the opposite side of the river. For more details and information on this project, check out the article at Heraldonline.com.
