Horizon Community Church plans to build a massive 210,000 square-foot building on the former Indian Valley Golf Course in Anderson Township and Newtown.

The building site would also have a 1,200 space parking lot, an impervious surface in the Little Miami watershed, that will certainly never be used to capacity.

One hundred twelve acres north of Eight Mile Creek would remain undeveloped.

To make this project a reality, a land use plan amendment was necessary to allow the development of the 42 acres south of Eight Mile Creek.

The amendment changes the Anderson Township Land Use Plan for the site from Park/Recreational/Open Space to Public/Semi-Public/Institutional.

Horizon still will need to get a zoning change for the property because its current zoning, "H" Riverfront, doesn't allow churches.

So far this development has had support from the township trustees and development advisors, from the county planners, and from the Eastern Corridor Plan.
