REID TO "EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS" FOR SMITH HILL DEVELOPMENT

(Richmond, IN)--Last week, Richmond Common Council denied rezoning that would have advanced the plan to create a large housing development called Smith Hill located near the intersection of South 37th and Backmeyer Road.  The property is owned by an LLC formed by Craig Kinyon and Reid Health.  Reid incidated the property had been purchased to help solve a housing shortage in Richmond that makes it difficult to recruit and retain employees.  Monday, a Reid Health spokesperson issued a short statement on what Reid will do with the land now that zoning was rejected.  The statement said simply that Reid is exploring other options, but did not indicate what those options entail.
