September 22, 2026: What residents are discussing ahead of next city council meetings. Click Here

Hello, I wish to register my opposition the the proposed project at 80 Willow Road. I believe we should resist bullying efforts by the developer even if that risks a lawsuit by them. My understanding of the “Builders’ remedy” is that it is meant to coerce local governments to file plans that s...
