NEW SHAWSVILLE-ELLISTON GROUP WILL MEET THURSDAY

A group that wants to have a voice in guiding growth in eastern Montgomery County will meet Thursday night to choose officers and set its rules.

The Shawsville-Elliston-Lafayette-Alleghany Springs Village Association will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Shawsville Volunteer Rescue Squad building.

Last month, representatives from the newly formed group asked the Montgomery Board of Supervisors to adopt a historic overlay district for their communities. The association also asked for more representation on the county Planning Commission.

The association came about in the wake of dissatisfaction among some homeowners in the Shawsville community following the county's decision in July to allow the expansion of a major trailer park.
