Sabattus residents balk at large housing development: ‘That’s too much’

SUN JOURNAL • May 31, 2026

There is mounting public pushback among Sabattus residents to a proposed 96-unit housing development on No Name Pond Road across from the former Sabattus Primary School. The area is currently undeveloped and is wooded with pockets of wetlands, along with a stream in the southwest corner of the lot that drains into the Sabattus River. Some residents feel the area, and town services, cannot sustain that much new housing and the subsequent increased traffic in such a short period of time.
