    Does this mean the proposed large development that would cater to the wealthy and change the small town character of Jay be nixed?

    I wish them well. I hope any proposed development includes a year-round affordable housing component. The type of staff they will employ can find plenty of jobs but are leaving the area because they cannot find affordable year-round places to live.
