Leon Scully, who lives in the Milford Ponds neighborhood directly next door has been following these plans since he moved in in 2020.

"I'm glad they cut it away and it's going to be separate," said Scully.

Tecola Gibbs-Hernandez, who lives in Milford Ponds, is also glad that the amenities will be separate for the new development.

"What is it going to bring to our neighborhood? Is it going to be violence? Is it drug affected? That is really a concern." said Gibbs-Hernandez.
