Hearing at Retreat Farm Yesterday?

by Not Signed In | Questions & Answers

I was just looking up schedule at Retreat Farm and saw notice there was a hearing there yesterday. When you look at the map on the website it shows at least one new building up in the forest, and I know the plans there when I left were to turn the main barn into an upscale shopping area and cafe, and to add a lodge, and LOTS more parking right along our beautiful road across from the Retreat Meadows. There are some great things happening there but I’m afraid some public oversight and interest is needed to make sure the character and history are better protected.
