Another Zoning Board

Green Development has filed a new petition to the Johnston Zoning Board for the large property off Winsor. The Zoning Board met on September 28th where five of Green Development's witnesses testified and public imput was limited. The meeting was continued.

The November 2nd meeting had the final Green Development witness testify and one and a half of the abutter's witnesses testify. The meeting was continued, again,  to December 14th where the abutter's witnesses finished their testimony and the public hearing was able to be held. Every person who got up to speak spoke out against this particular project. Not one person got up to speak out in favor of the proposal. The night ended with the meeting continued again to January 25th at 6:30pm at the Johnston Senior Center (1291 Hartford Ave, Johnston).

Below are links to the project information provided by the town of Johnston. Many of these documents were prepared by Green Development. Some of these links take some time to download.
