The planning board tonight (Tuesday) will consider whether to recommend approval of an expansion of Davidson East, a proposed mixed-use development north of N.C. 73 and east of Ramah Church Road east of Davidson.

Developer Frank Jacobus and the William Brewster Co. have proposed a commercial and residential development for 172 acres in the area. The town has already approved a master plan for the larger property. The 8.6 acre parcel under consideration now fills in a gap in the bigger development.

Plans for the additional parcel include housing, office and retail space, and a 1.25-acre lake.

A portion of the full Davidson East site is under consideration for a new elementary school by Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools.
