Brandy Brow Road Development in Haverhill

The Eagle Tribune reported that a proposed housing project on Brandy Brow Road in Haverhill is coming to a head.  City planners are frustrated by the 2 years of delays by the developers, local contractor Richard Early Jr. and his partner John Serratore.  Neighbors are worried that their quiet, rural corner of the city (near the Merrimac town line) will be altered by more houses and traffic.  And Environmentalists are concerned about the effect new homes and added roads will have on nearby wetlands which feed Haverhill's drinking water supply.

Brandy Brow Road connects Route 110 to Route 108, but the road is blocked by two metal gates. The city erected the gates 13 years ago to prevent illegal dumping and people from partying in woods off Brandy Brow Road.  If the housing development is approved, Brandy Brow Road would be improved and the gates opened to traffic, city officials said.
