📰 News we're reading

• Irvington halts action on village overlay for now (rrecord.com) — Irvington officials have paused a major rezoning proposal for a 128‑acre “village overlay” after residents raised concerns about density, traffic, and infrastructure that could require sewer service from Kilmarnock and new costs for locals. Council members are demanding clearer details, potential environmental safeguards, and stronger protections before reconsidering, while also weighing a separate business rezoning request and new rules on farm animals and marijuana-related zoning.
