On November 21, 2012, just prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday, we learned from a posting on the Barrington Patch that the East Bay Community Development Corporation (EBCDC) was hosting an "informational meeting" on November 27th at the Barrington Public Library Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. The event was not published in the Barrington Times. According to the announcement the EBCDC will "field questions" from attendees. We urge you to attend this meeting, make your voice heard, as well as that of your neighbors and friends.
We now have Petition signatures of 517 Barrington residents (almost all in the Hampden Meadows community) opposing any development involving Multi-Unit rental housing on the Sowams Nursery Property. The petition has been delivered to all major boards and committees in town. We would voice our opposition to this proposed project irrespective of any issues concerning Low and Moderate Income tenants, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to present the case against this project at future meetings of responsible Municipal Boards,Committees and Departments..
Whether this meeting is "informational" or not remains to be seen. But it is important that we get an up-close look at what is proposed.
Thank you in advance for your participation.
