Sign our Petition to Stop the Main Street Corridor Project!
About the NO EASEMENT Signs: In 2018, town meeting passed Article 47, which authorizes the town to take easements on downtown properties through donation by the affected residents, through compensation paid by the town, and/or through eminent domain. The owners of the properties on Article 47, the residents who may lose their private property rights, were not notified that their property was on the town meeting warrant. Property owners throughout the town are displaying “No Easement” signs to signify opposition to the town taking these easements for the implementation of the project.
About the Citizens’ Petition: We have created a citizens’ petition under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 39, Section 10, which requires the Select Board to call a special town meeting upon request in writing by two hundred registered voters. Our petition asks town voters to vote to:
(2) Order the Select Board to discontinue the entirety of the Main Street Corridor Project and order the Select Board to cease all planning and project implementation
