Milton moves ahead with Crabapple plan

Milton's city council has passed ordinances to allow planners to enforce form-based zoning codes in the Crabapple area. The action means the city can now create a uniform aesthetic in one of the city's oldest districts while preserving the surrounding open spaces.

Over the past two years, the city has held public meetings to draw up a Crabapple Visioning Study that will now be used to guide the area's development.
