Newtown, CT (USA) -- More than four years after its rejection by the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z), a religious group's proposal to construct a Buddhist temple/meeting hall on its ten-acre property in a residential area at 145 Boggs Hill Road is drawing wider public attention.
On March 6, the Connecticut Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the appeal of the Cambodian Buddhist Society of Connecticut, Inc, which seeks to overturn a lower court decision, which upheld the P&Z's February 2003 rejection of the society's proposal to build a 7,600-square-foot Buddhist temple/meeting hall.
The Hartford Courant, the state's largest newspaper, covered the court proceedings in its March 7 edition. The Courant also published a news feature on the topic on March 12.
The Courant's coverage was picked up by The Associated Press, a news agency that distributes published news stories. Organizations interested in the Buddhist temple issue provided The Courant's news content on their websites on the Internet.
