RTICLE ROOKHAVEN EVISITED
The Board discussed a few of the items brought up with the Selectmen. The conversation centered
on the methodology used to develop the affordable housing mitigation payment, how this works
with the value imparted on the site by the Town if the rezoning is adopted, and the nature and
purpose of Brookhaven’s charitable mission. Given the unique sense of circumstances surrounding
the application, the Board expects another substantive update to come forward before the date
certain expected for this Article.
