New Milford Zoning Panel Rejects Gas Station Plan

New Milford zoning leaders have voted down a proposal to redevelop the former Valley Dodge site into a 24-hour gas station, convenience store, and drive-thru restaurant. The split decision followed divided public opinion, with opponents citing traffic and neighborhood impact, while supporters argued the long-vacant property needed redevelopment. The plan would have added thousands of daily vehicle trips along the Route 202 corridor.
