<p>A new development would add 40 new apartments along Worthsville Road in Greenwood.</p>
<p>The apartment complex, Providence Place of Greenwood, is planned to be built on an undeveloped two-acre property south of Worthsville Road and west of U.S. 31, Greenwood Planning Director Bill Peeples said.</p>
<p>The land, next to Summerfield Village, has been zoned for commercial use for more than a decade. The developer has requested a building permit, which would be awarded once city boards have finished reviewing the project, he said.</p>
<p>The developer has told the city he wants to begin construction in June and have the project complete in October. The complex will have one three-story building with 24 units, as well as a two-story building with 16 units, with an entrance on Providence Drive, Peeples said.</p>
<p>The developer will likely be asked to hold off on sidewalk and landscaping improvements on the north side of the property until work on Worthsville Road is complete, Peeples said. A project to widen Worthsville Road from U.S. 31 to Averitt Road is set to take place in 2020.</p>
