New life for stalled 2007 Parkview housing development

A dormant Bluffton housing development gained new life this week.

Parkview Development is back. Approved by Bluffton council in 2007, it became mothballed by the Great Recession of 2008 when the housing market collapsed nationwide.

Owners Stanley and Joenita Clemens, developers of Riverbend subdivision, developed the Parkview project and own the land. It lies between Riley Creek and the rear of properties on South Main.

The Clemens announced the impending sale of the land to Three S Development Group, LLC. Those owners are Jeff, Derek and Dan Snyder.
