Economic Forum

An unlikely coalition of developers and growth-control advocates yesterday tried to apply brakes to County Executive M. Elizabeth Bobo's proposed growth control bill.Saying the measure is missing essential components, the presidents of two key organizations asked that a public hearing scheduled last night on the bill be delayed until they have a chance to review it more closely.James Truby, president of the county Economic Forum, said his group had received no response from Bobo's staff, despite several requests to postpone discussion of the growth-control legislation.
