South Graham Annexation 2027 S Main St
Southern Graham | 8.7 Acres | Units | Postponed
The Graham City Council is considering the annexation of an 8.70-acre tract of land located off South Main Street. This annexation has been petitioned by the property owners who wish to tie into the City of Graham's existing water and sewer infrastructure, which runs adjacent to the property within the South Main Street right of way.
The annexation of this sizable property opens the door for residential development. Graham city staff have noted that new residential growth generates positive tax revenue for the City while requiring minimal additional expenditure for public services, thanks to the existing utility connections.
‟The staff report notes that new residential property generally creates positive tax revenue for the City, and the cost to provide public services is minimal since the utilities are already in place.
Developer: Not yet selected
Owner: Jean Monnett Ross Phone: (336) 226-4686
Burlington-Graham Joint Annexation Agreement
Border of Graham and Burlington
The City of Burlington and the City of Graham have approved a joint annexation agreement to provide clarity on future annexations and development in the area bordering both municipalities near Monroe-Holt Road.
Key Points:
The agreement establishes a clear boundary line between the two cities' annexation areas, eliminating uncertainty for developers and property owners.
The City of Burlington has the only utilities in the area to serve these properties.
Both cities recognize the growth demand in this area and aim to steer growth responsibly through this agreement.
Having a formal agreement in place delineates authority and provides a framework for development in the specified area.
Overall, the agreement provides more predictability and sets the stage for multifamily development opportunities in this growing area, with utility provision available from Burlington.
Thank you for being a part of Ultraground.
