The difference between this project and the housing projects Sarah linked in her email is that this project has a definite benefit to the town in terms of 75 acres of conservation land in an area that has always been designated as appropriate land for conservation. Therefore, you wouldn’t necessarily expect the town to be neutral on this project. Yes, it is incredibly frustrating to see the HCA play out again when this project satisfies the concerns about "too much density" by Lincoln Station by not being in Lincoln Station and being along Route 2, and yet unsubstantiated accusations of a developer being embedded in the PB are being lobbed even though TWO candidates who were vocal anti-HCAers are now on the PB!
What do people who oppose this project even stand for?? It's so easy to oppose everything.

It’s frustrating to see the same core issues from the HCA debate resurface.
I am completely on board with any unbiased information being posted to the website that includes official documents submitted to the town, upcoming meetings and/or public hearings that address the topic, without promoting or discouraging the proposal in anyway- these are all great ways to ensure residents are informed, but NOT influenced by the town website.
The town website is funded by tax payer dollars and should not be used to promote a private party’s interest by hosting unvetted FAQs, and especially without allowing an opposing party to also submit their own FAQs. Here are some examples of how other towns handle similar proposals:
