- If you can’t attend, email your comments to cbosco@middlebury-ct.org for inclusion in the public record.
- If
you experienced any difficulties attending the January 5th P&Z
Public Hearing (couldn’t hear or see what was going on, not being able
to speak during the hearing, being turned away from the parking lot,
etc.) it is very important that you document these difficulties into the
public record. Simply send an email to
- cbosco@middlebury-ct.org, give your name and address, and list your complaint.
- Support the Alliance financially: https://www.gofundme.com/f/middlebury-small-town-alliance
- We've
raised $5,895 from 37 donors online and have another $2,000 that was
donated in cash. Our fundraising total as of 7pm on 1/22 is $7,895!
- Thank
you! We’ve raised what we need to cover the Civil Engineer expert
witness expenses, and now we need to focus on our lawyer’s fees.
- If
you would prefer to mail a check, checks should be made payable to
Middlebury Small Town Alliance and sent to PO Box 1073, Middlebury, CT
06762
- Our incorporation costs were graciously covered by a
donor, so our only current costs are the yard signs we ordered, the
expert witness, and the lawyer.
- Reach out to your neighbors
and friends: ask what they think about distribution facilities coming
to Middlebury, and encourage them to participate in the process to have
their opinions included on the record at Planning and Zoning. Now is the
time to have your voice heard.
