Let's be honest, The ARPA funds were not "provided to municipalities during the COVID-19 pandemic to help provide PPE for citizens and make improvements to the town’s infrastructure." It was a Stimulus Package to speed up the country's recovery from the economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and recession.
Dave at the NCC, this letter says that this letter was written on behalf of the Newtown Conservation Commission. Your website lists Land Use Staff, does this mean they are part of your Commission and your letter above speaks for them, or does it just speak for the 7 "citizen" members? I ask because typically, letters to the editor are written as individuals, don't remember any Commission or board representative writing in for the whole land use department. This brings up another question your charter doesn't say anything about opposing all new privately held property developments, I think your coalition was only supposed to "preservation and protection of 2,000 acres of town-owned open space". Do you have a new charter?
I think that it is a shame that the NIMBY Coalition is preventing the town from reverting this paper road back to its original owner. If, by some magic of beurocratic shamemanship the NCC is successful I think the Town should pave the road. Some of it is already a gravel road, paving this section of road would allow residents to avoid traffic at the flag pole by cutting through the newly paved "Jean-Baptiste-Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau Road". Ok, we have to work on the name of the road. Just think of the traffic freed from having to go through West Street or around to Taunton Hill.
Barbara was a mentor to me in my youth. I learned many things from this loving , sweet lady. May God bless Rudy and the kids.
Rest in peace Barbara.

We are not investigative reporters. We've never claimed to be. We cover meetings, write features, and do other very good work for this town.
We're not doing any less than when John Voket was Editor (nor any of his predecessors). Sorry we're not doing enough for you.
