The Worcester County Commissioners last week agreed to change a land use designation along Route 589.
The commissioners last Tuesday voted 6-1, with Commission President Chip Bertino opposed, to change the land use designation for 15 parcels along Route 589 from agriculture to commercial center. Development Review and Permitting Director Jennifer Keener said the request received a favorable recommendation from the Worcester County Planning Commission earlier this month.
“On Thursday, September 5, the planning commission held a public hearing as required by law to amend the land use map for the 15 parcels that are on Route 589 across from the casino,” she told the commissioners. “They proposed to change it from agriculture to commercial center. That’s their recommendation. It was unanimous.”
