Town Plan (incl Sewers)

We had a Council meeting tonight. It was billed as a joint meeting with the Planning & Zoning Commission, Water Pollution Control Authority and Economic Development Commission (sorry if I forgot anyone!) The general idea was to help the Town get its hands around the future of the town, including particularly the intersection of development and sewers. (I can't kid you and say this was a particularly exciting meeting, but it did have its interesting moments.)

Discussing the inaccuracies of the State's Plan of Development and Conservation, hearing from Chairs or representatives from each of the Town Boards, listening to developers concerns and also to concerns of residents were all valuable. And, of course, town staff participated.

Overall, the meeting was worthwhile. And as Patti Flynn Harris (PZC Chair) suggested, this should be the beginning of the process. To have one meeting on such an expansive and far-reaching (both in distance and time) issue won't cut it.
