SMITH HILL PROPERTY SOLD TO REID LLC IN '21 FOR NEARLY $500,000

(Richmond, IN)--Plans are continuing to advance a project known as Smith Hill in Richmond.  It would create 178 single-family homes near the intersection of Backmeyer Road and South 37th.  A Reid Health-involved LLC actually purchased that property three years ago from Paul Lingle for just under half a million dollars.  At that time, they indicated on sales forms that it would be a continued agricultural use.  But, last month, Reid said it was to development mid-range house to attract and retain employees.  Right now, roughly 43% of Reid Health’s employees live outside of Wayne County.  Friday morning, homes.com lists only 27 houses on the market in Richmond with an asking price over $250,000.
