Developers to begin two buildings at New England Flower Farm; neighbors prompt talk of permanent fencing
Summary
Committee members said a pre-construction meeting occurred June 1 and that the developer plans to build two of four buildings this summer; members also reported that owners discussed heightened security and might "put a permanent fence around the property" after neighbor pushback.
A committee member told the group that New England Flower Farm held a June 1 pre-construction meeting and expects to begin on two of the four planned buildings this summer: "They're gonna start their house in this summer" and "They're only gonna go to 2 of the 4 buildings." The member said the owners had obtained approvals they needed and were preparing to proceed but did not yet have a contractor as of that meeting.
Neighbors had been upset about the project in past public hearings, prompting discussion of site security. The committee member said the owners discussed increasing security and might "put a permanent fence around the property," a measure raised "just in case" following public opposition at planning and zoning hearings. The remarks were reported as development progress and neighborhood concern rather than a formal permit change; no new application or decision about fencing was recorded in the transcript.
