Opus wants to re-guide the 41.5-acre vacant BCBS campus for a business park, up to 500 apartments, and up to 126 townhomes.

Neighbors worry about traffic cutting through Ashbury Road, truck traffic, noise, park and school impacts, and homes built close to property lines — but the real decisions come after environmental and traffic studies.
