Blackfoot development project is getting mixed reviews

BLACKFOOT, Idaho (KIFI)—Residents of Blackfoot are raising concerns over a proposed expansion called Honeybrook 4. The expansion is expected to build 52 new townhouses in the next 1-2 years.

As of 9 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24th, the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended the expansion to the City Council.

The concerned residents highlighted issues like water and traffic. One said, "[Real Estate] Developers have been eager to use the people of Blackfoot." According to Collin Hunter, the developer of the expansion, the rental price of these townhouses can reach up to $2,500.

The overall feeling from residents in the area is that they do indeed want growth, but they do not feel that their voices and requests are being heard.

The townhouses would be built on the east side of town, off of Lawrence Lane.
