Help Save the Gilford Meadows From Destruction!
The Meadows committee has full intentions of developing playing fields at the meadows. I attended a recent Conservation Commission meeting regarding the meadows. It was abundantly obvious that the committee has no intentions of debating the need for playing fields. They are simply moving forward with the process to do so. I’m not familiar with the engineer (Paul Fluet) they’ve hired to do the planning but there’s no question that he’s completely lost in the process. The Conservation Commission had to give him instructions on how to find the correct maps to determine the wet lands area.
Developing playing fields at the meadows is wrong on numerous levels. Conservation issues are just the beginning. Traffic issues along with needed infrastructure top the list of concerns.
I would like to get active and provide a method of communication for the citizens of Gilford that do NOT want to see this last scenic vista destroyed. The first thing that needs to be defeated is the Warrant Article #6 on the School District Ballot. I’m guessing that we don’t have a lot of time because the Article doesn’t spend money and most people will believe it looks innocent.
The Warrant Article is the beginning of the SCAM to raise private funds. Once the investment starts we can expect to transfer the responsibility to the tax payers shortly afterwards.
Please vote NO on Article #6 on the School district Ballot. Beyond voting day I’d like to establish the GilfordGrok as an information center for the meadows development. I need YOU to send me an email with your email address so that I can add it to a growing list of concerned citizens that DO NOT want to see the meadows developed. You don’t even have to give me your name just the email address. I will add it to the group and have an effective tool to send information more easily. You will be informed on action items that need voters to give their voice! You must be a Gilford Citizen to join.
If you believe in Preserving and saving the meadows please SEND your email address to: Terry@GilfordGrok.com
