This expanse of 15 acres between Cherry and Cleveland avenues, called the Cherry Hill Planned Unit Development, will soon become 117 housing units. The project consists of 94 townhouses that will be ringed by 23 single-family homes, according to plans filed with City Neighborhood Development Services. Some dwellings should be on the market as early as next fall. At the latest City Council meeting, Jim Tolbert said that, while it might look a mud hole, Neighborhood Development Services visited Cherry Hill recently and found that developers are following all of the appropriate erosion and sediment control measures.
