GOSHEN—The Goshen Town Board held a public forum on July 11 to hear views on changes to the town comprehensive plan and the creation of a commercial recreation overlay zoning district, steps necessary to bringing a proposed LEGOLAND theme park to the town.

About 300 people attended the forum, many wearing red t-shirts with a crossed out LEGO to show their opposition to the project. Along the back of the auditorium of the Orange County Emergency Services building, two groups held up large letters: LEGO YES and NO LEGO.
