📰 News we're reading

• Barker's Farm pushes back against duplex project planned next door in Stratham (fosters.com) — A proposed duplex development in neighboring Stratham is drawing strong opposition from Barker's Farm, which fears runoff and pollution could threaten its irrigation pond and operations. While planners weigh wetland impacts and housing needs, the story also nods to broader regional growth conversations, including ideas for reimagining Exeter's train station with potential visitor amenities, housing, and a new bridge that could affect local travel and development patterns.
