Wilmington planning considered

–

“Matthew Delaney, Director of the Lake George-Lake Champlain Regional Planning Board presented an outline for future planning to the residents of Wilmington.

“One-tenth of the population of the Town of Wilmington — a little over 70 persons — sat in their small wooden town hall Tuesday to hear Mr. Delaney.

“It was a meeting characterized by curiosity, interest, some critical questions, some of the old fears against zoning and some misunderstanding occasionally between Mr. Delaney and the residents.

“But it was, not a hostile meeting. The general feeling, made explicit several times in questions and comments was that Wilmington certainly did not want anyone else to do planning for them.

“Delaney told Wilmington residents to think of planning as ‘land use control.'”
