As has been for years, the pool is the #1 topic in town. As I mentioned before, the Council voted (7-2 - Ruocco, White opposed) to hire a pool consultant (Herald, by Leslie Hutchison). The consultant is Aquattica. They'll be assisted by USA Swimming.
Here's a great story (WRA, by Emily Beaver) about several area women who assembled care packages for our troops using the Prospect Volunteer Fire Department.
Cheshire may be getting a "lifestyle center" in the northend (Herald, by Leslie Hutchison), including housing. I'm not sure how this would impact the wastewater treatment plant. I definitely want to hear more about this. I'm just guessing that if a lifestyle center is added, then a gas station will be added. And if a gas station is added up there, then I will seriously push for an alt fuel offering... although I'm not exactly sure what that means. That is, would the developer construct a gas station? Would someone else ask for a special permit, in order to put in a gas station? I'm not yet sure who would be involved in such a thing... but I will find out.

Maybe a good idea for development in the North End, but these questions need to be asked. Where is the capacity for water and swere coming from? If the sewer from Cheshire, what is the costs? A new plant at 25 mil, wrong. What about a new firehouse? Based on the development a new firehouse will be needed, the next step is paid fire department. Me thinks the plan for a new development in the North End is going to cost the tax payers of Cheshire a minimum of 30 mil dollars. 30 mil over 20 years divided by homes in town is a $300 per year tax increase just for the Lifestyle Center.
