    This is outrageous! We can put industrial businesses on Rt. 13, but not businesses, or housing units and no real growth. How many people will this employee?

    What about the proximity of this pit to the homes and land owners that have lived there for years? Did it not matter that some of these folks are Seniors who had no clue what was going to happen. Yes, letters were sent, but how many fully understood?

    Shame on the “Powers that Be” to have let this happen! The distance from Eastville to the CBBT will be heavily trafficked during peak seasons/summer and the roads will become more hazardous. All so one industrial business could make money!

    Our little Shore only cares for private businesses and tourism! Well, how many YACHTS will want to travel on muddy gravel and filthy roads.
