Rock Hill, Fort Mill and Lake Wylie have more homes proposed. So do Clover and Lancaster. They range from typical subdivisions to lakefront living beside a nuclear station . Here’s a look at plans for 450 new homes and townhomes pitched across the Rock Hill region. Details are still pending on a 309-home subdivision proposal in Lancaster County.
