Old Boonville Highway apartment development and infrastructure
Summary
A 216-unit apartment complex is planned near Burkhart Road, but neighbors say the narrow 45-mph road has no sidewalks or lighting, water pressure is already strained, and another 264-unit complex is under construction nearby. Commissioners approved it 6-2 after the developer committed to a binding traffic study and beefed-up UDC.

Impact analysis
No direct cost to taxpayers named, but road widening and utility upgrades loom as growth continues east.
Future renters and the developer gain new housing supply on the growing east side.
Hickory Trace residents and Old Boonville Highway neighbors face heavier traffic and more infrastructure strain in the interim.
