Wellingborough Townhome Development
The Board wanted to follow up and let the community know the results of the poll that was sent out in early June regarding interest in the proposed townhome development on the 301 Wellingborough property (corner of Thurston & Wellingborough).
There were a total of 68 responses. 46 (68%) were in favor of engaging with the development, and 22 (32%) were in favor of no engagement. Alongside this vote were several questions and comments about the specifics of the development.
The Board reviewed these results and felt that there was enough interest to form a Townhome Committee that will help collect details on the development, impacts to our community, and what options are available for engaging with the development. A number of individuals expressed interest through the survey regarding the committee, which has started meeting.
We would like to emphasize again that this is still an exploratory phase. There are many questions still to be answered, and through the work of the committee we hope to answer questions the community has before any specific actions are taken.
Thank you to all who participated in the survey! We appreciate all feedback and questions.
