- Mark your calendars for the Conservation Committee Meeting on February 28 at 7:30 PM @ Shephardson.
- More information to follow as we get closer, but for now plan to be there early and wear red to show your opposition to the project.
Breaking News…
- The experts (soil scientist and herpetologist) hired by the MSTA to review the applicant’s site plan before the Conservation Commission have been DENIED access to the Timex site.
- It is fundamentally unfair that the applicant gets access to the site, but the intervener doesn’t. What are they trying to hide?
- Furthermore, the members of the Conservation Commission are walking the site individually, and not holding a public meeting.
- The town could have given access to MSTA experts, but it chose not to. The lack of transparency surrounding this project continues to astonish, and it further proves the applicant does not have Middlebury’s best interests at heart.
Fundraising
Thank you to everyone who continues to support our efforts to oppose a distribution facility on the Timex property off Christian Rd in Middlebury. This application will be on the Feb 28th Conservation Commission agenda, and we are diligently preparing to participate in that meeting (our legal and expert witness team is hard at work).
Our February fundraising goal is to raise $15,000 for the following expenses:
- $4000 Civil Engineer
- $3500 Soil Scientist
- $7500 Lawyer (the lawyer will cost more than this for the month of February, but we have some funds allocated to this purpose already to bridge the gap)
The work we do for the Feb 28th meeting is essential to stopping this project, and we can’t afford to miss any opportunities to do our best work. Please consider donating and please share with your friends and neighbors.
