Moultonborough Business' Threatened

SAMIAM · 02-10-2009, 01:57 PM

In case you don't know,the Moultonborough planning board is attempting to have much of rt 25 rezoned to residential.They refer to growing traffic and a need to preserve the town's "scenic qualities"
There is no industry in this area and the many shops and business' along rt 25 represent most of the jobs.We should be encouraging more business not less.
None of the affected business' were notified of the proposed changes and they probably hoped to sneak it through without drawing much attention.It is discouraging to see that the town is taken a stance against small business for mostly selfish reasons (I would suspect that none of the authors of this change have any interests in the zoning change area) but for those of us that do,it is our lifeline.Now,and hopefully in the future.
I would encourage everyone who knows anyone in business on rt 25,or has a friend or family member that works at one of the many business' there,to vote no on Article 3 and express their concern to members of the planning board and selectmen.
