With homes sales at Baxter Village in Fort Mill surpassing 200 through Sept. 15, the neighborhood has hired an activities director whose responsibilities include planning and implementing community and social activities for the Baxter Community Association.

Denise Boss, a veteran property management professional, has been named activities director, a new position that reflects Baxter's growth as a traditional neighborhood with a range of amenities, including a new elementary school, structured wiring package in each home, walking trails and a public library.

"Denise and I will be working very closely together on a long-term plan that will help make Baxter even more lively," said Kerri Robusto, director of marketing for Clear Springs Development Company, Baxter's developer. "We are thrilled to have someone of her immense talent on board."

In addition to being responsible for all community and social activities for Baxter, Boss will assist in the formation of clubs and organizations that foster community spirit and resident interaction. She also will administer "Front Porches," Baxter's password-protected community network.

"Denise is an important addition to our team as Baxter continues to grow," Robusto said. "Not only is she our version of the 'welcome wagon' for new residents, but she also works hard to help all residents learn what Baxter has to offer."

Hired as Baxter's activities director by Capital Consultants Management Corp. of Dallas, Texas, which manages Baxter's Homeowner's Association, Boss said she was drawn to Fort Mill because of the town's similarities with her hometown.

"When I relocated to the area, I was so drawn to Fort Mill because of its small-town atmosphere and quaint feel, similar to back home in Cooperstown, N.Y.," Boss said.

Baxter's newest phase of homebuilding offers single-family ranging in size from 1,100 square feet to 4,000 square feet and are priced from the $190s to the $400s. Builders are Saussy Burbank, David Weekley Homes, Lillian Floyd Homes and S.E. Miller Construction.

In addition to single-family homes, Saussy Burbank is building 25 townhomes in the newest phase, and potential homebuyers can choose from a range of floor plans that offer, for example, first-floor master bedrooms. The townhomes range in size from 1,100 square feet to 2,000 square feet and are priced from the $130s.

The Village of Baxter is a mixed-use neighborhood being developed by Clear Springs Development Company. The 1,033-acre development includes single-family homes and townhomes, as well as more than 400 acres of open space. Baxter also will include a medical complex and retail and commercial development.
