Save Rural Andover Borough

See for yourself - Corporate greed and unchecked development are threatening our rural quality of life!

"Gatherings at Andover Borough" - A charming name for a very intrusive development. The site plan and aerial overlay pictured below were presented by Beazer Homes at a public information session on their proposed 590-unit project between Route 206 and Brighton Road, which was held at the Andover Borough firehouse from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday June 25, 2005. Very little has changed from these plans to those submitted to the Andover Borough Planning Board on December 30, 2005. Click here to view some of the property threatened by this project.
