During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding a proposed industrial park near Stuart West and Cobblestone were prominently voiced by local resident Rory Maher. Maher, who has lived in the area for nearly a decade, highlighted the apprehensions of nearly 500 homeowners regarding the potential impacts of the project on property values and quality of life.

Maher emphasized that the rural character of the neighborhood, which is primarily zoned for residential use with five-acre lots, was a significant factor in residents' decision to settle there. He expressed disbelief that an industrial park, encompassing over one million square feet of floor space, would be compatible with the existing residential zoning and lifestyle that residents cherish.

The meeting underscored the community's desire for a voice in local development decisions, particularly those that could drastically alter the character of their neighborhood. As discussions continue, the residents of Stuart West and Cobblestone remain vigilant about the implications of the proposed project on their homes and environment.
