The subdivision, named the River District, would have 135 estate houses, nine smaller houses, 43 townhouses and, 48 residential fourplexes and four apartment buildings with 16 units each. Access would come from the east side of Idaho 55, where the developers would build a roundabout.
The plans also include 11 commercial lots close to the highway.
The subdivision would provide much-needed homes for about 130 employees of the planned Midas Gold mine in Valley County, a mine representative said last year. Midas is seeking to mine gold and antimony in Stibnite, a historic mining district about 50 miles northeast of Cascade. Midas has said it plans to invest $1 billion and create 1,000 jobs.
