The whole town was not invited to vote.  As I recall, there were only 36 residents who were allowed to vote on this re-zoning because their properties were located near the proposed site. The vote was 19 against, 16 for, and one abstention.  I suspect the 19 who voted NO owned properties that were much closer to, possibly sharing a boundary with the site. It would be helpful if the media would investigate the results, instead of making assumptions.
