While many communities are struggling to attract new housing, the City of Burlington is on the verge of approving a new subdivision that could bring 300 new homes to the area.
The Common Council is scheduled Dec. 6 to vote on a rezoning plan that would pave the way for the massive development.
The development is among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press. The newspaper is available at local retail outlets and subscribers will receive their copies with Friday’s mail.
Here’s a look at some of the other stories in this week’s edition:
