Planning Board - Oct 15, 2026
The board found the draft environmental study for the proposed asphalt and concrete crushing facility inadequate, requiring it to account for the town's new industrial zoning that effectively bans concrete crushing and the Calverton moratorium history.
Zoning Board of Appeals - Jan 22, 2026
Breezy Hill Group VI wants to convert a nonconforming residential property into a C&D debris processing facility with concrete and asphalt crushing. About 60 residents showed up to oppose it, citing noise, dust, truck traffic, and property values. The ZBA can't decide until the Planning Board's environmental review is resolved, so the hearing stays open.
