The zoning board officially denied the permit for the CVS development at the corner of Big Walnut Road and State Route 3. We have confirmed that the land will retain its current zoning designation. I will monitor future filings to ensure this outcome remains permanent.

our property values will tank if this happens. nobody wants to live next to a giant retail parking lot.

Think about the safety of those biking. Crossing a busy driveway is a disaster waiting to happen. Bad location.
