Developer Has Big Plans Between Johnson City And Jonesborough

Some land that lies midway between Johnson City and Jonesborough that is currently simply a pasture, will soon become an apartment complex. According to other media reports, local developer Scott Landy will build 48 apartment units, including 16 two-bedrooms and 32 one-bedroom apartments, in three buildings next to the former Midway School building on the Old Jonesborough Highway. Work has already begun, and Landy said he hopes to have the project complete within about 18 months. Overall, the project is expected to be valued at about $5.9 million. Landy also owns 6 acres adjacent to the apartment project where he says he plans to build single-family residential homes in the future.
