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. [audio mp3="http://blackburnnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Grant-11.mp3"][/audio] Webster says they're also concerned that non-regulated pesticides and herbicides like DDT used at the former "Crabbies Golf Course" may be unearthed during construction. Tonight's meeting at Huron Oaks is from 7 till 8pm.
