WS Weiner has proposed a 500,000 sq.ft. “Lifestyle Center” on Route 10 near I-691.

This is just another name for a shopping center and despite the “community amenities” that are being promised it will result in retail sprawl over the entire interchange area as other retailers jump on Cheshire’s short-sighted change in zoning.

Look for yourself and ask: Is this what we want in Cheshire?

 Make yourself heard. You CAN stop this project and save Cheshire’s character, quality of life and the environment in north Cheshire. The next P&Z Public Hearing is on November 14th. The next Wetlands hearing is on the 20th.
