Squash courts, a fitness club and renting space for a dozen large events a year would be added to Ox Ridge Hunt Club in an effort to expand the club’s membership, according to plans brought before the Planning and Zoning Commission this week. “They’re here tonight to talk about reinventing themselves,” town Planning Director Jeremy Ginsberg said in introductory comments to the commission at its public hearing on Tuesday.
