Supports Development Moratorium
Published: Feb 13, 2025 2:36 pm
To the Editor:
The February 7 “Discusses Proposed Development” letter from Dan Holmes suggesting a town-wide, one year moratorium on large scale housing development starts is an excellent idea. It would allow town officials and townspeople to plan ahead for Newtown rather than reacting to any and every proposal that is made.

Newtown
Newtown has a number of Plans already in place, the Plan of Conservation and Development was just updaed we have a full range of zoning rules on the books. The town has planned ahead, just because some people want to somehow preserve large tracks of land without compensating the owner is no reason for a Moratorium.
