Savannah Lakes project opens to new developers
The Clarks Hill Russell Authority, owner of Savannah Lakes Village on J Strom Thurmond Lake in McCormick County, shifts from Cooper Communities to invite other developers. Officials say Cooper failed to provide guaranteed timelines but the project remains intact, aiming for a retirement recreation community with 4000 to 5000 homes, a golf course, hotel, marina and health facilities across 3159 acres purchased from the federal government in 1986. Parrott notes no delay and offers support to the next developer with existing studies and plans. The door remains open for Cooper if terms improve.
