Anyone know what's going on along Newman Road in Clifton? Tree cutters have been busy all week taking trees down. What is being built there, did the property sell?

It's going to be a paintball place.

Well, this is interesting. It looks like the original plan was for a paintball place, but the owner has put that on hold as a result of neighborhood opposition. Instead, he is developing an 'agritourism' business based on a working farm - called Whitehall Farm.

That sounds fairly innocuous until you read that they plan to develop something that sounds like Cox Farm on the site - tours, 'family fun days', corn maze, farmers market, birthday parties, etc. The county claims that there will be no traffic impact. These are rural roads; I don't see how there couldn't' be an impact.

I hadn't heard anything about this before. I have to wonder what kind of impact this will have on the adjoining communities.

Interesting article discussing the history of the property and their plans...
