Middlesex County is about a third built-up and two-thirds vacant. A pattern of development is rapidly being established. If a different pattern is preferred, the only time to get it is now.
The purpose of this publication is to present the choice to the people of Middlesex County: what kind of development pattern do you want? What kind of transportation, jobs, other activities and services do you want - the development pattern determines these to a large degree. How much will you pay to save natural places as urbanization sweeps through and to make sure that what man builds is handsome and dignified rather, than shoddy?
