Attending Deerfield Zoning Board of Appeals public hearings regarding the proposal by Liscotti Development to build a 9,300-square-foot store at the corner of Mill Village Road and Greenfield Road in Deerfield has been a deeply frustrating experience. These hearings, held over Zoom due to COVID, insulate both the board and the public from understanding the full range of public sentiment about the proposal. The lawyer for the developer has been given apparently unlimited time to speak, while members of the public neighbors, Deerfield residents and taxpayers have had to limit their speaking time to three minutes, barely enough time to make a point, much less counter the misinformation presented at each meeting by the applicant’s attorney.
