What is planned?

Beechwood has submitted an application for a change of zone for the property located at the corner of Manor Road and Jericho Turnpike in Elwood to develop a “for-sale” community.

The community is intended to be comprised of 385 residences spread over 55 acres.

The community will include a spacious clubhouse with amenities such as a fitness center, pool, game room, pickleball courts, ponds and expansive landscaping.

Beechwood is excited to bring its flagship “Country Pointe” brand to Elwood and looks forward to working with the local community.

Fact Vs. Faction

Fiction

This community will create more traffic on Jericho Turnpike.

Fact

This is false. This community will likely be a mix of active adults and young families. We have commissioned a traffic study to have experts research the impacts as part of our zoning process and the public will have an opportunity to review the study and to comment during that time, but we expect it to show no material negative increase in traffic on Jericho Turnpike nor any surrounding streets. We have found this to be true in all of our communities and will make videos available to you showing real peak traffic patterns.

Fiction

This community will increase my taxes.

Fact

This is false. We estimate approximately +$2,540,033 in additional tax revenue per year from the proposed community while generating approximately 68 new school children for the District (which has been experiencing declining enrollment). This is projected to result in a surplus to the Elwood School District of approximately +$782,177. If the property was developed pursuant to existing zoning, approximately forty five (45) single family dwellings could be constructed, and this would result in a negative effect of approximately ($683,590) on the Elwood School District. We have used conservative figures in our tax analysis based on widely accepted studies on the generation of school children by multifamily housing. Utilizing more recent studies results in projections of 50% less school children and a net tax revenue surplus to the Elwood School District of approximately +$1,712,800.
