On May 25 I will enthusiastically vote for Bill Henchy for Brewster Planning Board.
I’ve had the honor of meeting Bill and understanding his deep commitment to the town’s people and character.
I bought my home nearly 19 years ago. I chose Brewster for its enchanting country feel and “Olde Cape charm.” At the time I was a civil engineer pursuing a degree in interior design. Thankfully at that young adult age I had the experience to recognize the unique qualities Brewster offered without the additional distance from the bridges. I understood that I could easily change my house but not my location once the investment was made.
Our forests and woodlands should be preserved and protected
Recently, most towns on Cape Cod declared a Climate Emergency through a town meeting vote. Why? Because as we experience extreme weather events like the tornado of 2019, learn about the drastic loss of marine life like Right Whales and observe sea level rising at each high tide, we identify with other coastal communities around the globe that have faced utter disaster. And we know that more is coming
Our penchant for economic growth and development at all costs allows woodlands to be clear cut by off-Cape developers who sell us solar arrays in Sandwich, Falmouth and possibly down Cape. Or by the Massachusetts National Guard at Joint Base Cape Cod, which proposes to clear cut 171 acres of pine barrens forest that sits on top of our sole source aquifer!
