Call it the Battle of Concord.
There likely will be a full house - and lots of impassioned voices - tonight when Concord supervisors take up the contentious issue of the Vineyard Commons development.
It's not so much that this will mean another 160 homes in the fast-developing western end of the county.
It's the tract where the homes will sit. The Beaver Valley is one of the last, pristine bits of open space, a bit of paradise in between all that pavement. This development targets 230 acres of the 318-acre parcel.
Hundreds showed up last week when the township planning commission gave the development the green light and sent the matter to the Concord Board of Supervisors.
Another huge crowd is expected to be on tap tonight, forcing the meeting to be moved to the auditorum of Garnet Valley High School, on Smithbridge Road.
The meeting is set for 6 p.m., although the board will handle some routine business before it takes up the Vineyard Commons question. Developers also are expected to make a presentation tonight.
We'll have a full report.
