Mystic Scott Westervelt, who has lived on Boulder Court at the bottom of the hill from the former Mystic Oral School for more than 35 years, is concerned a large mixed-use development on the property would add traffic to narrow roads and disturb the neighborhood and environment.
“An overly dense population moving into this area would destroy the quiet solitude that we have down on Boulder Court,” he said.
He is a co-chairperson of the Mystic Oral School Advocates, a group of about 125 people in the surrounding neighborhoods and Groton, which he said is working to restrict the proposed mega development or prevent the zoning that would allow it to move forward.

Davis said the committee first started discussing vaccine equity when they realized some parents were choosing to keep their children in distance learning because their family members had not been able to get the vaccine yet.
In response, Groton schools teamed up with other community partners to form Groton in Action. This weekend, April 24 and 25, they will be knocking on every door in the Branford Manor and Poquonnock Plains neighborhoods.
“We are going to touch beyond those families that have children in Groton Public Schools, said Davis.
The volunteers will survey people with questions like: Have you gotten your vaccine yet? What might prevent you from getting the vaccine? Is transportation a barrier?
