📰 News we're reading

• Cease-And-Desist Order Upheld For Enfield Mulch Operation (patch.com) — Enfield residents may notice changes at a Shaker Road wood and mulch site after the town's Zoning Board of Appeals upheld a cease-and-desist order against the operation. Officials say the industrial property has been used without the required special-use permit and that activity has intensified, while the owner disputes the town's position and may still seek future approvals.
