Tam O’Shanter
Proposal
If the proposal to develop the former Tam O’Shanter property is in full compliance with all applicable zoning regulations, the VRP will probably have no objection to it. Nevertheless, a project of this magnitude deserves to be given a thorough study and analysis, with complete public transparency. We will contribute to that process by re-posting several documents that once appeared on the Village of Brookville’s website and various other relevant items that we may turn up. Check this space periodically.
Park
There is some interest in pushing the local municipalities to acquire the property as a park. We think this option is worth exploring. Contact us with your views on the subject.
