The developers for the owner of the vacant Drive-In/Driving Range on 25A in Rocky Point held an information session at Majestic Gardens Monday for proposed development of a Target store.
Three long tables were set up with drawings and schematics along with economic data on the proposed development of a Target in that location. At the informal gathering, interested community members came by and a group against the Target called Dont Target Rocky Point picketed outside and made themselves seen and heard. Current zoning would not allow a big box store at the location.
