About Me
- the Winchester Informer
- I am part of a group of Winchester citizens completely opposed to dirty and hazardous businesses, like asphalt and wood burning plants wanting to come into town at the expense of our quality of life. I am concerned about preserving the rural character of Winchester. These types of development have no benefits for Winchester citizens and they create many health hazards and will cause the destruction of green space. Our Winchester is known for its precious natural resources; dramatic rocky slopes, unique wetlands and abundant wildlife. I feel there are many questions concerning these proposed projects that outweigh any benefits. The increase in traffic along existing streets and noise and air pollution would be very significant. I am also concerned that the town infrastructure cannot cope with the problems these types of businesses will demand. Furthermore, I am very discouraged with the Planning Board and Zoning Boards and feel they have been negligent in their duties to protect neighboring residents from health hazards and safety issues that will surely arise and affect the lives and livelihoods of many citizens.

They're suppose to have had a public discussion BEFORE they voted to okay this application. What a freaking joke to do it a week later after they already voted.
These board members who pulled this crap as well as Sharra need to go before they destroy everything in this town for their own benefit and you can be sure palms were greased and the nod was ordered. Disgusting behavior even for this corrupt town we live in. I hope many people show up and let them know we are not going to stand for this crap any more.
You're right, they already voted to approve,so why the public hearing now? Are they going to rescind their illegal vote or just go through the formality for public show and then say they approved at a later date when no one was paying attention. This whole thing smells.
low voter turnout has it's consequences!
True, but these people are appointed, "volunteers" and in some cases, lackeys to do the bidding of others. Notice that some of these members hold other positions in town too. A practice that needs to stop immediately. The same group of people hold sway over this town and not for it's betterment; but their own.
