TPZ Commission weighs zoning to balance town and growth
Town planners debate balancing property rights with preserving character while accommodating change. A subcommittee studies affordable housing to keep residents, and decisions loom on abandoned industrial properties like Handy Harman, Exide, and Fairprone. Proposals include a new zone for private recreation facilities, day cares, and nursery schools to better manage conversions.
