All infrastructure is onsite or next door. City of Burlington is actually at this time in process of redoing their comprehensive future land use plan. Currently marked at Medium Density Residential discussions have been had about Mixed Use Commercial. All to be verified by buyers. Water and Sewer maps included in Virtual brochure. This is a very sought after parcel and will most likely not last very long considering it's proximity to all the shopping and the interstate for quick commutes. Current use is agriculture/farm with the majority of the land in grassland. Home is at no value.
