Luxury Homes Get Environmental OK On New Milford Ridgeline

A plan to build 13 luxury homes on an ecologically sensitive area in New Milford has cleared a major hurdle. The town wetlands commission approved the project, citing no feasible alternatives with fewer environmental impacts. The proposal covers a 54-acre property off Bonnie Vu Lane, with 21 acres set aside as permanent open space. Final approval could come from town planners as soon as Thursday.
