A massive development proposed in Freeport would add more than 500 housing units to a largely rural area. Residents are worried that, if approved, it could be too much too quickly for the small town. The development, still in the earliest planning stages, proposes 329 single-family houses, 60 apartment units in five buildings, 140 homes in 70 duplex buildings and eight commercial lots off Desert and Old County Road. The development would require a zoning change, which the planning board will be discussing next week.
