Step in the right direction

On Monday night at the Selectmen’s meeting, the ballot question was not supported by the board. The BOS voted 3 to 2 not to approve the question to sell and develop the landlocked parcel. The proponents will now have to gather 1615 votes to have the non-binding question placed on the ballot. In my opinion, this is a victory for the town. It is important that we keep our town-owned land for future municipal use only. We have millions of square feet of class A office, retail and biotech space already permitted and waiting for tenants to occupy. I urge you not to sign the petition as this is the last large piece of beautiful forest in our town.
