Mack's Concerns Regarding Business Commons Overlay Plan
from Mack's Newtown Voice · host Mack's Newtown Voice
At the 17 October 2023 #NewtownPA Planning Commission (PC) meeting, I spoke up about my concerns regarding the O-LI/LI ("Business Commons") Overly Plan. Find the plan here: The PC - working with Bucks Planning Commission (BCPC) experts - is near to finalizing the Plan to recommend to the Board of Supervisors (BOS). Before this comes to a vote by the supervisors, I expressed a need to have more discussion of the plan's details. This is an audio recording of my comments made at the PC meeting. I specifically have major concerns about "mixed-use" development, which is a major aspect of the Overlay Plan.
