Fort Mill, SC - December 8, 2003- The rapidly growing Village of Baxter in Fort Mill, SC, has teamed up with Beazer Homes to add town homes to the community. A national homebuilder headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Beazer Homes currently builds in over 30 markets in the U.S., and is consistently ranked among Builder Magazine's top ten single-family homebuilders in America.

"Beazer Homes is the perfect fit for Baxter," said Kerri Robusto, Marketing Director for Clear Springs Development Company. "They are one of only 50 builders nationwide to receive the prestigious Diamond Builder award for superior construction, quality homes and excellent customer service.
