PITTSBORO, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Pittsboro Board of Commissioners will discuss the Reeves Farm Development in a meeting on Monday night and consider approving Phase One of the project. "This is a major development project on the west side of town," town spokesperson Colby Sawyer said.

A 600-home mixed-use project is moving forward in Johnston County, with a local builder selected and site work set to begin soon in the growing North Carolina town.

Developers purchased 488 acres of Chatham farmland for a future mixed-use project, tying new growth to Pittsboro’s history and the Reeves family’s legacy.

But the growth has picked up in recent years, and a large mixed-use development now in the works could accelerate it even more. Edward Holmes Jr. and father-son duo Buddy and Carter Keller — the developers behind the 500-acre Reeves Farm community planned in Pittsboro — have submitted a rezoning request with the Town of Smithfield for a 164-acre concept called "Local 70."

Reeves Farm, a 500-acre mixed-use project with 1,500+ homes, shops, and trails, gained rezoning approval—poised to become Chatham County’s next major community.

The Reeves Farm project near downtown Pittsboro will bring new housing and expand town connectivity, blending growth with local history and community character.
