The City Council also had a joint meeting with the Planning Board concerning a zoning change request. Attorney Christine Tree gave a presentation. The change would change a parcel on Dinan Drive to industrial 1 from commercial 1 and allow for Blessington Corporation to expand its existing facility locating on an abutting parcel which is already zoned industrial. The company specializes in the fabrication and installation of architectural millwork. Our graphic shows Dinan Drive at the bottom and the existing Blessington building in the Summit Industrial Park.
