The Brunswick Town Council unanimously voted Monday evening to impose an emergency moratorium on the review and approval of development projects within the Maquoit Bay Watershed. The 50-day moratorium, which the council may extend to 180 days following a Nov. 7 public hearing, will limit projects located entirely or partially within the triangular parcel of land between Maquoit Road, Mere Point Road and Rossmore Road. Mere Point Development LLC has been in early talks with town officials about constructing 900 or more housing units on a 283-acre property located partly within the Maquoit Bay Watershed.
