County sets hearings on Mayfield Townsite

The Elmore County Board of Commissioners plan to hold a series of hearings next month to gather public input regarding plans to build a large-scale community west of Mountain Home.
Hearings on the Mayfield Townsite Planned Community begin at 6 p.m. May 3, 10 and 12 at the county courthouse.
If approved by the county commissioners, the planned community would encompass 5,000 acres of agricultural land north of the interstate at the border of Elmore and Ada counties.
During its proposed 50-year development, it would add another 15,000 dwelling units and nearly 37,500 more people to the county over the course of its proposed 50-year development. That's roughly twice the size of Mountain Home and similar in size to Eagle and Meridian.
