Plans by a builder from New York calling for new housing in Newtown on Mount Pleasant Road have been approved. The property is just east of Exit 9 on I-84, where industrial property will be rezoned in order to allow 11 buildings on a 33 acre former farm to be built, which would result in 200 apartments. Some neighbors opposed the plan, citing concerns about school bus safety and well-water contamination, but in the end, it was approved by a slim majority of Planning and Zoning Commission, who agreed that the project should move forward… by a 3-2 vote.
