The Newtown Forest Association's purchase of acreage is to be commended. Its the right way to acquire large tracks of property, especially when the alternative if for the owner to develop it or the the municipality to develop it for future tax revenue. Current efforts to reduce owners options without offering to purchase property is simply wrong.

Selectmen Request Economic Development Requirement For 6 Commerce Be Droppe

Why was the road named "Commerce Road", if not intended, through zoning, for 'commerce'? Don't we want 'commerce' to be in designated areas? Every single development in town is fought by a cadre of NIMBY's. We are inundated by developers for zoning changes for 'commerce'. Does CVHAS want ALL the open space in town? I believe it was a mistake to use any land on Commerce Road for anything else than 'commerce'. Now, the excuses for preserving open land will stretch beyond the property lines. "You can't build there, it's next to a preserve!" The land becomes de-facto open space, controlled by a minority.
