• Regarding the new development at the northeast corner of Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road, while I’m glad to see something coming on this empty piece of property, I am sad to see they cleared out some beautiful hardwood trees, including several 100-year-old oak trees on that site.

It’s a real shame they couldn’t have incorporated those trees in with their construction design. It appears they’re going to squeeze every inch out of that property to put in what I’m sure will be too large a building for that small piece of property.
