More concerning is the fact that both the SLR engineer and Attorney Fitzpatrick told the Conservation Commission that the Southford Park project was designed to meet the storm water management criteria of the draft 2023 Storm Water Management Manual, but the new engineering firm VHB told the Commission at the March CC meeting that the project was NOT designed to 2023 standards, just to the 2004 standards. There will be a public hearing for this application at the April 30th Conservation Commission at 6:30pm, all members of the public are welcome to attend and to provide comment.

We continue to be astonished by and grateful for the contributions that have made this fight possible.
