Limited public information is available on additional large-scale named projects. Ongoing individual new home construction (including custom and infill homes) and smaller commercial proposals (e.g., a potential 7-Eleven) exist but do not meet the criteria for significant named developments with detailed public project data. City infrastructure projects like the Hash Park sports complex are also advancing but are non-residential.
