Re:The Charette Again? - 2008/08/06 23:55
"The goal of the Charette is really to keep people and businesses out of town."???
Really? How so?
Don't business leaders, developers, the EDC, the Chamber, and all of the self-interested individuals in town also have an opportunity to throw in their 2 cents? Just like the majority of residents who would also get their say.
And the $500k is a scare tactic. There are funds state, federal, etc. available to underwrite a good portion of the cost.
Sounds like a very democratic process to me.
The alternative is that we just continue to spin our wheels, and risk another multi-million $ lawsuit because our town hasn't properly defined it's land use policies. The way that jerk from that Dorset development talks, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up suing.
