📰 News we're reading
• Why New Milford rejected a Route 202 contractor center proposal (nhregister.com) — New Milford's Zoning Commission has unanimously rejected a proposed contractor center on Route 202 at Park Lane West, citing missing traffic and lighting studies and concerns from nearby homeowners. Neighbors argued the 6,300-square-foot, six-unit commercial building would clash with surrounding single-family homes and worsen traffic, reinforcing the town's recent pattern of closely scrutinizing development along this busy corridor.
