Bethel Development Critiqued

Bethel is moving forward with a number of projects aimed at redevelopment of its downtown area, but not all agree that it’s a good thing. A number of projects have been approved and/or built under the town’s Transit Oriented Development regulations, including 16 residential units and six commercial spaces at 155 Greenwood Avenue in Bethel, but now there is some pushback to those regulations from residents who say they are becoming concerned about overdevelopment; protection of industrial land; building heights; and parking.
