A wooded traprock ridge that looms over Route 44 in Canton. A developer, Mark Greenberg, proposed excavating part of the ridge for a 20-dispenser gas station, electric vehicle showroom and convenience store.
The wooded traprock ridge that greets westbound motorists entering Canton is saved, for the moment.
The town’s Planning & Zoning Commission on Wednesday rejected an application by developer Mark Greenberg to blast and excavate part of the ridge line to build a 20-dispenser gas station, electric vehicle showroom and convenience store.
“We’re very happy with the decision and really appreciative of the commissioner for all the thought and time that they put into this lengthy application,” said Jane Latus, who heads Canton Advocates for Responsible Expansion, a local land-use group that opposed the project.
