You’re right. The fact that the town officials allowed the area behind Home Depot to be destroyed without proper planning is deplorable. Especially because the revised development plan did not even require the amount of deforestation that took place. The parcel of the Wood Lot does not have an end use land plan yet. Please join us at the Wood Lot meeting on February 28th and voice your concerns. Thank you for your support!
