Dear Mr. Hedenberg:
I represent business and residential inhabitants of South Windsor concerned at the
prospect of a large supermarket complex rumored to be "on the drawing board" for the
intersection of Buckland and Deming.
Please give me a call to discuss the status of any such proposed development, as I
would like to learn the status of any would-be applicants' discussions with the Town. I
shall look forward to hearing from you.
Very truly yours,
John S. Haverstock
