Homeowners plan to keep fighting gas station

ZIONSVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — Some Zionsville homeowners say they are not finished fighting after the town's plan commission approved a proposed Friendly Market gas station near their neighborhood.

The Zionsville Plan Commission voted Monday night to approve the project, clearing a key hurdle for the development. The gas station would be built near a residential area, drawing intense opposition from nearby homeowners.

Hundreds of residents have voiced concerns about the project, citing fears about increased traffic, noise, and potential environmental impacts. Neighbors say they worry the development will change the character of the area and affect their quality of life.

Homeowners opposed to the project say they plan to file for a judicial review of the decision and may seek an injunction in an attempt to stop construction of the gas station.
