Springfield Highway commercial rezoning
Summary
A 4.54-acre agricultural parcel with a historic 1848 house could become home to the Chic Artique boutique and possibly a coffee shop. Neighbors are split: some worry commercial zoning on a residential corner invites traffic and future intensification; others say it saves the house from demolition and subdivision.
