(WLOX) - If you drive around Jackson County, new home construction is readily visible. Homes and subdivisions are popping up throughout the county, and more are on the way.“We’re averaging between four and five hundred new permits throughout the county, probably for five years running,” said Marcus Catchot, Jackson County Planning Director.10 different subdivisions in various stages of development will be discussed at Wednesday’s Planning Commission meeting.Catchot said the west side of the county, including Latimer and St. Martin, is seeing quick growth.With land filling up, developers are exploring other parts of the county.“I think definitely the trend will be for development to move north at this point,” said Catchot. “You know, a lot of the land is taken down south, and there’s still a lot of usable land up north. Of course, the majority of Jackson County is considered wetlands. That’s some things that they’ll have to deal with, but there’s a lot of usable land in Jackson County.”Jackson County officials have approved 600 final plats in 2025 alone, with another 200 more home sites in preliminary stages.With growth remaining steady, Catchot expects the same moving forward.“I don’t really see the process slowing down for Jackson County. I see a lot of growth in the future,” said Catchot. “People want to be in Jackson County, plus all of the amenities, like I mentioned, that we have.”The Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday, October 15.See a spelling or grammar error in this story?
