Send a Letter if You Can't Attend

Getting involved a civic project is not easy. It often conflicts with work and family life. It can require a commitment of time and energy. If you are opposed to the transfer station and you can't attend the September 2 hearing on the variances, send a letter of opposition. Here's some issues to consider:

• Project size
• Traffic impacts
• Impacts on the neighborhood
• Impacts on surrounding communities
• Inexperience of the town of Holbrook on issues like this
• Site problems related to its current state of contamination
• Rats, noise, and odor
• All or any combination of the previous items

All letters can be sent to Zoning Board of Appeals Chairman Day at the following address:

Town of Holbrook
Office of the Board of Appeals
50 North Franklin Street
Holbrook, MA 02343
