Summary, model-written

Golf course closed April 1, 2025, after decades of operation. Proposal seeks to rezone 66 acres from agricultural to R1B (single-family residential) zoning for 309 houses. Area Plan Commission approved the rezoning request. Housing market data shows ZHVI $296,588 (2.4% annual growth) in Tippecanoe County. Peer comparisons include 6 similar redevelopment projects in Indiana, Florida, and California. Status is proposed with planning approval but not yet built. Verified status is draft. No parcel or deal details provided. Housing market context is current (2026-09 data). Traffic data shows minor arterial road (S RIVER RD) with 10,686 ADT.
