Three precinct meetings are scheduled the week of March 12, 13 and 14, 7-9PM.
Mr. Gaynor asked, “What are the top 3 issues from the survey?”
Mr. Devine responded,
1. Protection of the water supply
2. Focusing on the tax burden
3. Maintaining the rural character of the town
4. Traffic impact
We want to get the public involved now so they can begin to understand that the goals conflict;
· Economic development doesn't equate to keeping things in rural nature.
· Income is needed to keep taxes low.
