A full house at Town Hall watched Monday, as ROAN Ventures — the developer of the Hamlet at Saugatuck retail/residential/hotel/marina/and more project — showed their latest architectural renderings and traffic studies to the Planning & Zoning Commission.
The 90-minute presentation included a number of PowerPoint slides.
The audience — in person, and watching at home — got plenty of information. Much of it went by fairly quickly.
ROAN has shared their deck with “06880.” If you missed a few of the details — or missed the meeting entirely — here some highights.
