The Planning Commission tonight will hear details about the proposal to put a fitness studio in the Village at Newtown Shopping Center. The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. at the township Administration Building.

Barre 3 will need zoning relief from the township to open the fitness studio in a 2,360 square foot foot space in the shopping center.
