SCARBOROUGH LEADER • January 29, 2025
The Scarborough Town Council last week passed a 25-foot setback from wetlands for new developments in a 5-2 vote. Recent meetings and public hearings revolving around the setbacks have garnered a healthy amount of public comment. Many residents have expressed support for the setbacks and some say they would rather see one larger than 25 feet. Those opposed, most of whom were local developers, argued the one-size-fits-all approach would hamper their present and future efforts of development.
