STONE RIDGE - The owner of the Stone Ridge Orchard says he is scrapping a proposed environmentally friendly housing project on the property because of objections from the public.

Dan Hauspurg, whose family has owned the orchard since 1999, first proposed the idea for Marbletown Green in hopes that it would be a unique, community-driven development, one that allowed interested citizens to contribute ideas and concerns. Despite hosting four public meetings and encouraging the community to turn out, Hauspurg's idea never took off.

In fact, over the past few weeks, green signs have appeared in front yards throughout Stone Ridge and Marbletown that read, "Preserve Marbletown: STOP The Green."
