Dubbed Blueberry Village, the subdivision is proposed for a tract between N.C. 53 and Henry Brown Road in Burgaw, only about a mile from the courthouse square. The property comes in at about 80 acres, making it one of the few remaining undeveloped plots of that size with such proximity to the town center.
