“The community pride and spirit found here in Lake Highlands is unmatched, and we hope to capture that enthusiasm by opening up the street naming process for public input,” said Vance Detwiler, president of Prescott Realty Group. “After all, Lake Highlands Town Center will become a focal gathering spot – – a true town square – – and these roadways are one more characterization of the experience that is to come.”

Initial horizontal construction activity, which includes site grading, will begin later this spring. Work to surface the development’s four planned roadways is expected to start later this year. Once complete, these streets will pave the way for shopping, dining, recreation, homes, and more. They will also connect the 70-acre mixed-use development, creating a sense of community and continuity.
