While both will share Brighton Boulevard off of Columbia Avenue, Mungo\u2019s neighborhood will be on the southern end within the Chapin town limits, while Palatin will sit on the north side outside the town.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>White said Chapin residents should expect Palatin to follow the same pattern as Saluda River Club, including \u201cthoughtfully designed streetscapes,\u201d \u201ca dedicated active adult neighborhood,\u201d and homes priced between $600,000 and more than $1 million. Many of the same designers and architects who worked on Saluda River Club will also work on Palatin, he said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe intend to mimic Saluda River Club in the development of much of Palatin, with the exception of job-creating uses, specifically the Foundry at Palatin, which will be Lexington County\u2019s first dedicated technology incubator,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The Foundry will take up about 40 acres of the site will be dedicated to commercial and light industrial use, connecting to the housing development by what White called a \u201cflex space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/usmovingexpertss.com\/?p=959\">\u2018When you lose one, you lose a piece of you\u2019 SC ups penalties for harming police dogs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe street facing side of the flex space will appear as if it\u2019s a small town business district, but all the business will be behind that facade,\u201d he said. \u201cThat way the neighbors won\u2019t be looking at anything remotely industrial or like a warehouse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The business uses could create between 2,500 to 3,000 technology-focused jobs, White said. Among the planned 600 homes on the rest of the site, White said about half would be put aside as age-restricted housing for people 55 and up.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to have young technology workers within walking distance of their jobs, and have their parents or grandparents live within the same community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Lexington County began work almost a decade ago to develop a technology park near Chapin off of Interstate 26, in hopes of attracting businesses and jobs to the area. But the 200-acre site has sat empty since then despite at least $16 million of public investment in the site.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The county council voted in April to sell the property to the development group for $20 million, despite an ongoing dispute with the town of Chapin, which says it includes the park in its moratorium on new connections to the town sewer system. The town previously turned down an offer from Lexington County to purchase $4 million worth of taps for the property, despite a pre-existing contract requiring the town to service the property.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>White said the dispute would ultimately need to be resolved before Palatin could move forward.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur contract requires the county provide access to the sewer system, through their agreement with the town,\u201d White said. \u201cSo we stand in the background while the county and the town resolve their dispute.
