FERRY FARM ACTION DELAYED

FERRY FARM ACTION DELAYED: The Planning Commission deferred action Wednesday on the Ferry Farm House, a 169-year-old historic structure that a would-be buyer wants to turn into a home.

Neighbors instead want the house, which sits between their back yards, turned into a museum as originally promised by the developer. The commission will reconsider the issue at their next meeting, Oct. 12, after both sides have had a chance to reach a compromise. by CNB
