The Charette Again? - 2008/07/17 07:48
According to the Current, the Charette is again rearing its ugly $500K head. Evidently the town is asking consultants for proposals and cost estimates. We have town boards who can hold all kinds of hearings and public comments. Things like the Charette are always ways to dodge that responsibility or to hide what actually is going to happen.
I just spent a few days in Wyoming in a real small, rural town and happened to be in town at the same time as their town festival. A lot of fun. It got me to realize that Simsbury doesn't have any real town events not tied to some commercial deal like the Meadows. No Independence day fireworks, just the Symphony.
The goal of the Charette is really to keep people and businesses out of town. Keeps the views nice but kills the spirit of any community.
