OPPOSE (PP-2026-167) CALDWELL FARMS (FORMALLY THE FARM AT ACADIA) PIEDMONT
The Issue
STOP PIEDMONT TRAFFIC OVER SATURATION. The proposed Farm at Acadia Subdivision would add 83 new homes to rural farmland in Piedmont, SC—Grove Station Area-and the developers want to push gated access onto the narrow roads of Osteen Road and Freeman Lake Road, funneling all new traffic toward Piedmont Highway (SC Hwy 20). Adding subdivision-level traffic to cut through to Piedmont Hwy will overwhelm these short, 15 and 17 feet narrow roads and add more congestion to the local area.
Are our roads and infrastructure ready for more traffic near Old Pelzer Road, the Southern Connector, and Bracken Road?
Many residents believe the answer is no—and now is the time to speak up.
As neighbors who value the safety, stability, and rural character of Piedmont, we are asking for your signature to advocate for responsible development regarding proposed project PP‑2026‑167 (The Farm at Acadia).
Our primary concern is public safety and roadway capacity. This proposal would funnel hundreds of additional daily vehicle trips from a gated subdivision onto Osteen Road and Freeman Lake Road — narrow rural roads that were never designed to carry subdivision‑level traffic. Directing new development traffic onto these roads creates predictable safety hazards, increases congestion, and places overwhelming strain on the already burdened Piedmont Highway (SC Hwy 20) corridor.
Approving this project as currently designed would also set a dangerous precedent. Once access is granted, these roads become a cut‑through route for all phases of Acadia. With more than 400 homes proposed in the main Acadia development, these same roads will inevitably be used as a shortcut between Hwy 153 (Brown Road) and Piedmont Highway, causing severe congestion, backups, and long‑term infrastructure deterioration.
Planning commissions rely on objective data and community feedback to make decisions; by signing this petition, you are not simply opposing growth, but rather showing county officials a real, measurable community need for comprehensive traffic and impact studies and sustainable infrastructure planning. Help us present a unified voice to the Greenville County Planning Commission to ensure roads are safely and adequately equipped before massive expansions are approved. Sign today to demand smart, safe, and balanced growth for Piedmont!
