As many may have heard, last week (7/30) there was a town councile meeting where residents voiced their concerns over the new proposed location of the sewer treatment facility. While we wish the town was more aware and vocal about it when the site was closer to our backyard near the pfirehouse site, we still do not want this to be allowed to sneak past us. they want to put it, wait for it, Next to our Drinking Wells!
In a less than observed public meeting on June 4th where the council without much public awareness and/or outcry voted cimically to move the proposed site and pursue eminenet domain to seize the property if needed. Since that time, hundreds of town residents have been active to plan to execute a plan to have all proceedings of this project halted to ensure that proper due diligence is done and to better guage the town feelings towards such a project at all. There is some confusion about the mandate that may or may not exist. The best way to know what is going on and or share your concerns is to be present at the meeting and show that this is an important mattter, whaever your feeling about it.
We dont want to be kept in the dark out it wether by accident or otherwise. This meeting is expected to have nundreds in attendance. Come early to find a seat.
