In this week’s Standard Press…

      While many communities are struggling to attract new housing, the City of Burlington is on the verge of approving a new subdivision that could bring 300 new homes to the area.

The Common Council is scheduled Dec. 6 to vote on a rezoning plan that would pave the way for the massive development.

The development is among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press. The newspaper is available at local retail outlets and subscribers will receive their copies with Friday’s mail.

Here’s a look at some of the other stories in this week’s edition:

UPGRADES FOR SENIORS: For years, the Burlington Senior Activity Center didn’t have consistent air conditioning through the entire building, and uneven heat distribution. However, courtesy of donated funds members of the Burlington Senior Activity Center can rest comfortably with a new heating and ventilation unit as well as a new roof.
