252 people!
9 DecMore later, but thank you to everyone that turned out last night. I believe our concerns are starting to resonate with the board, which is causing them to consider alternate locations to have dealerships. This is definately a good thing!
Over 400 petition signatures!
8 Dec400 people have now signed the petition, plus numerous “physical” signatures gathered from the picketing.
Thanks to all those who signed and gathered these signatures!
Properties being purchased?
8 DecWe are being advised that additional properties around the intersection are being bought up! Prior to a decision! Very odd.
If you don’t want dealerships ALL AROUND THIS INTERSECTION WE IMPLORE YOU TO COME TO THE MEETING! 8pm Thursday, Municipal Building.
The stakes are raised, we need concerned residents to take the time to attend. Help us stop this!
Ghost of dealership future…
7 DecThis being the holiday season.
This article, in a nutshell nails a concern we all have.

Between the testimony we have given at the meetings (see youtube links below), and common sense that a dealership is more problematic than an office building, I really would like to believe that the planning board will make the right decision.
All that being said, it is extremely important that everyone attend the meeting. If you’ve already joined us, thank you. If you haven’t yet, make the investment in time to help try to prevent this.
