In August 2007, the Municipal Planning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend denial of the proposal to the Board of Commissioners! But they came back with a revised proposal. In February 2007, the MPC voted 4-2 to postpone indefinitely. So our work continues! Please continue to spread the word and get signatures on the petition! We still need strong support at future meetings as well.
