Burial Plots Paved Over in Maple Street Cemetery: Expert

NEW CANAAN, CT—A neighbor to the proposed Merritt Village project paved over burial plots, according to a land use consultant.

Consultant Andrew Mellilo said that the eastern portion of the Maple Street Cemetery not owned by the developer of the Merritt Village project has been desecrated with plants, mulch and even a driveway, according to the New Canaanite.

The portion owned by Merritt Village doesn't have bodies in it. Mellilo told the Planning and Zoning Commission the focus should be on the desecration and not on the Merritt Village developers who took the time to properly plan around the cemetery site.
