The City of Lockport has approved plans for a 68-unit, 24.4-acre residential development, named Royale Highlands Estates, over objections from some neighboring residents who were concerned about density and flooding. The development will include 21 duplex units on its east end and 26 single-family homes on the west end, occupying 13.785 acres of the property. The residents expressed concern about flooding on their property and the impact it might have on their well water and septic systems. However, Mayor Steven Streit refuted these claims, stating that the changes should have no impact on well and septugal systems.
