The owner of Faith Hill Farm in East Greenwich, Pam Steere Maloof, is fighting against a proposed development next door that could potentially put her business at risk. With 39 horses on site offering various services, including riding lessons and equestrian therapy, Maloof is concerned about the safety of her horses and clients during the construction process of the proposed Ridgeline Estates and Condos. The developer’s plans include building 39 condos and four houses just feet away from the horses, which could cause them to panic and put riders in harm’s way. The project’s fast-track approval status due to affordable housing requirements is adding to Maloof’s stress, as it shortens the timeline for her to adjust. She fears that if the construction proceeds, her business may only be able to operate at 15 to 20% of its normal capacity, potentially forcing her to shut down. The town has not yet commented on the situation, but the developer has declined to provide a statement. The matter will be discussed at the planning board meeting on Wednesday.
