Summerfield is comprised of three neighborhoods with numerous connections to the existing town and each other through a network of pedestrian trails and vehicular streets. Each neighborhood will have a limited retail component with the highest concentration of mixed-use in Summerfield centered on Lake Odachowski. Summerfield’s retail and office uses are intended to meet some of the daily needs of its residents within walking distance. Additionally, some retail needs that the town wants, such as a grocery store and a movie theater that don’t fit downtown could be accommodated in Summerfield. While Summerfield’s residents may be able to meet some of their daily needs within walking distance, other needs and certainly “wants” would be met in downtown Snow Hill where the retail and office uses serve the entire region.
