A new housing development is about to get underway in Washington off Wayland Road near the Washington Golf and Country Club. Jeff Hazelett, a member of the Elliott Realty Group, hopes the infrastructure can start being put in place by the beginning of August. This new subdivision would have 31 lots where new single-family homes along with some duplexes would be built.

Hazelett says that aside from the immediate benefit of having more homes in Washington, this development could have a significant economic impact. “The biggest benefit is the financial impact that it has. The builder that I work with in Scott Goodwin uses all local contractors, and the majority of the materials that are purchased for the properties are purchased right here. Every time you spend a dollar in this town, it’s amazing how many places it goes to.”
