The Henry County Commissioners just gave the final green light to “The Grove,” a massive new community being developed by Geosam Capital Inc. This isn’t just a few homes – it’s a sprawling 1,278-acre development located right here in Henry County, near US 19/41 along the J.W. Smith Reservoir, between Hampton and Lovejoy.
So, what exactly is “The Grove?” Imagine this: over 6,160 new homes, including everything from single-family houses to townhomes and apartments. But it’s not just homes! This project will also bring over 2 million square feet of commercial space, including 670,000 square feet for retail and restaurants, and 1.32 million square feet for offices and other businesses. Plus, there’s even talk of a 180-room hotel and a medical facility. All this will take a staggering 40 years to build out in phases!
The initial phase is kicking off soon, focusing on important road improvements and getting the water and wastewater systems ready, alongside the very first wave of residential construction. While the full 40-year journey aims for overall completion around 2048, you can expect to see the first phase wrap up by 2028. That means work is starting and will be consistent for years and years!
Who is Geosam Capital Inc.? These aren’t newcomers to the game. Geosam Capital is a private, family-owned company with over 40 years of experience building large, successful master-planned communities across the United States, including other big projects in the Southeast. They’re known for creating entire communities where people live, work, and play, which tells you they’re in it for the long haul. When a developer like Geosam tackles a project this size, it means serious business for everyone involved – especially those of us with trucks ready to roll.
Think about all the dirt that needs moving, all the materials to be delivered, and all the debris to haul away for this kind of build-out. This project is a golden opportunity for consistent work that can help you finally grow your business the way you’ve always wanted.
Now, we all know that big projects can sometimes come with those frustrating 30, 45+ day payment terms that tie up your cash. It’s tough to take on more work when you’re waiting to get paid for the last job, right? That’s where a friend like Chummy Funding can step in. We help dump truck operators like you get paid quickly for your invoices, so your cash flow stays strong and you can jump on every opportunity this huge project offers.
This is big news for Henry County and even bigger news for your dump truck business. Keep your ear to the ground, because “The Grove” is about to make a lot of noise!
