In the winter of 2023 residents and Town Meeting Members felt if the broader community understood the implications of a zoning bylaw, they would also want the town establishment to hit pause and make it better.
They were ignored at Town Meeting and realized that is not a representative body as it is supposed to be.
They learned the majority of the Select Board had no intention of listening to the residents either.
By getting the word out and talking neighbor to neighbor, friend to friend and reaching across all groups and demographics the residents rose up from across the town and gathered 3,000 signatures so residents’ voices could be heard with a question on the ballot.
On election day the residents were finally heard, 54% Vote NO on that zoning bylaw.
In that process friendships formed, neighborhoods strengthened and more new faces have stepped up to serve in the town so residents can be heard.
As a group we want to thank those who are willing to serve, we want a pleasant way to keep the community aware of issues that may affect their neighborhoods, and we want to help support those who want to truly represent.
