Cheshire’s “Lifestyle Center”…the Myth and the Reality

~ by FHayek - November 07, 2007 ~

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?

View this important Powerpoint presentation.  Download the Myth and the Reality

If you do not have Microsoft Powerpoint on your computer, download the “Viewer” from the Microsoft website and it will allow you to view this file. Download the powerpoint viewer.

 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.
