Recent meetings by the Boone County Planning Commission have confirmed several infrastructure upgrades that will impact long-term property values. One of these projects is on the US-25 and Mt. Zion Road corridors, where zoning amendments are transitioning industrial areas into commercial ones, such as the new United Dairy Farmers development. Additionally, the rebranding of the local Comfort Suites to "Spark by Hilton" displays a modernization of the hospitality sector near the Florence Target/Wendy’s hub.
Homeowners should view these zoning changes as a signal of continued commercial growth. While industrial-to-commercial shifts often bring more traffic, they also bring increased convenience and "curb appeal" to the city's main arteries. Investors and sellers should pay close attention to the "Plan 2045" updates, which prioritize pedestrian connectivity and aesthetic improvements—factors that consistently drive up the long-term values of residential real estate in Florence and Union.
