Developers of a proposed "residential lifestyle community", to be integrated with the Bright's Grove Golf Club, are hosting a public meeting Tuesday evening at Huron Oaks. No applications have been filed yet and the exact number of condos or homes isn't known. Grant Webster lives nearby. He says many neighbours are opposed to the plan with increased traffic being a prime concern.

Tonight's meeting at Huron Oaks is from 7 till 8pm.
