It's going to be a very noisy and dusty spring and summer for the next year or so; but no worse than what it is now. Hopefully when they are done they will put in a living barrier and restore some of the beauty to this area.Mr. Townenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054211382609443037.post-71266905633848944602013-12-06T14:44:34.621-05:002013-12-06T14:44:34.621-05:00OMG what a mess out there on that corner and along...OMG what a mess out there on that corner and along the highway. Poor Mr. Towne, lost his wife and now they've taken down most of the big trees on his side of the highway leaving him open to all that noise and pollution coming from the pit and asphalt plant. I wonder how long before he leaves this area? I know I would but going to be tough to sell in this market and tougher with all the dust and noise and wide open view of the highway. They are really ruining his piece of property with this bridge project.

Example: two junk yards on Route 10.<br /><br /> I am not in favor of conservation commission taking land off of the tax rolls while building boat ramps at the tax payers expense just to fit their agenda, by doing so takes taxed property and place land in the town's trust to save for the future. I say bullshitt we are the future we need the revenue now. What to that fact, 1/3 of this town land (including Pisgah State Park) is already tax exempt. Gus Ruth "friend of the woodland creatures", will disagree with this fact, just look at any map!<br /><br />We spend tax dollars on things even people would even know every year. Example: If it's extending town sewage and water to Gary Beaman project on the snow road, tarring a driveway for one of their cronies or fix class 6 roads for circle so friends so they can subdivide their property.<br /><br /> Inbreed asks: If my mother and father get a divorce will they become brother and sister again?

I'd like an airport close to my house so I don't have to travel all the way over to Swanzey and Jaffrey, think the state can put one in along the river for me too?
