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.
I wonder why "Newtown has a garbage problem"? I understand there are lots of solutions but is anyone curious as to why "there is a trash crisis in Connecticut"?
How is greed at the heart of this proposal? The 8-30 standard was originally established to provide affordable housing for those who are struggling to make ends meet. It's a vital tool for developers who face resistance from obstructive zoning departments—an issue that certainly reflects our current situation. While you may see it as greed, I see it as a step toward progress."
