Voters in four towns decided against a large development project, some call a “utopia-like” community.

Unofficial results show a majority of people from the towns of Sharon, Strafford and Royalton voted “yes” in opposition to the NewVistas project. Local 22 / Local 44 is still waiting to hear back from Tunbridge, but the Valley News reports the town also voted in opposition to the development.

The project is spearheaded by Utah Developer David Hall.

Hall purchased thousands of acres of land in towns around Sharon, where Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church, was born.

Hall has ties to the Mormon Church, and told people last year that he hopes to create “environmentally and socially sustainable villages.”

The vote is a symbolic measure by the towns, who have voiced concerns for months about the development.
