Please attend the Planning Board meeting, Town Hall. Wednesday December, 6th at 7:30 pm, to show you care. If not they will do as they care and you will have nothing but lint left in your pockets. Betrayal of the public interest on behalf of developers. Councilwoman Susan McCartney declared herself in favor of the proposed tax subsidies of the Essex Green and Executive Drive properties, even before the planner’s report was made public. She is the first council person to align with the developers. She must recuse herself. Here are her comments made at the September 19, 2017 Town Council Meeting. Susan McCartney, “Just a few of the pictures that Ms. Holden showed…it looks like it already meets the criteria that it is an area in need of redevelopment”. See at 35:55. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlubDh9xgpg&feature=youtu.be and November 21, 2017 Councilwoman McCartney indeed said “you know, I am going to vote for an area in need of redevelopment...” See at 1:04:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqRFbmgwlo8&t=3894s Nepotism in action to further the scheme. Andrew Trenk, AKA Mini Trenk, sits on the planning board. He is the son of town attorney Richard Trenk who is the administration’s main proponent of the phony “Area in Need of Redevelopment” proposal. This is nepotism to further special interests. Andrew must recuse himself. Pollution and Truck Traffic to increase at Essex Green Since the Town Council sold the site of the current Department of Public Works in the last “Area in Need of Redevelopment” boondoggle near the Edison site, they have nowhere to put the building and it’s trucks! They propose to move it from an industrial area to Essex Green and Executive Drive so that there will be lots of truck traffic and pollution near the stores and residences. Doubling Down. We have just learned that Mayfair Farms, the Whole Foods parking lot and 16 other properties on Eagle Rock Avenue are on the Planning Board’s December 6th Agenda. They too are being proposed by the Administration as “Areas in Need of Redevelopment”.
