The Newtown Forest Association's purchase of acreage is to be commended.

Why was the road named "Commerce Road", if not intended, through zoning, for 'commerce'? Don't we want 'commerce' to be in designated areas? Every single development in town is fought by a cadre of NIMBY's. We are inundated by developers for zoning changes for 'commerce'. Does CVHAS want ALL the open space in town?
