Proponents say itll supercharge our commercial vibe in the Business General zone, spruce up the sites look, and fuel economic growth that means more jobs and conveniences for families zipping around town. Head to the public hearing tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall if you want your voice heard, it could shape how we shop and thrive here.
