Properties in the news

Sales, buildings and projects around the lake as local outlets report them, plus what comes before the town and village planning and zoning boards. The summaries are ours. News headlines are the outlet’s own and link to the full story; board items are labeled with the board, meeting date and application and link to the official agenda or minutes. We link to the parcel map or our own brief when we can identify the property, and we never name private owners, applicants or buyers. When several items concern the same building, they share one card with a timeline.
