Plainville Planning Board Meeting

Plainville Planning Board MeetingMonday, February 11th
Plainville Senior Center
9 School Street

Meeting begins at 7PM.
At 8PM: "Ourway Realty [Plainridge] Pre-Submission Conference regarding Request for Change in Use."
(The change in use is from racetrack to racino.)

Our grave concern is that the Planning Board will be pushed into deciding about a permit before the town hires a consultant and does a real cost benefit analysis of slots in our town. We are also concerned that the Board of Selectmen is already negotiating with Plainridge, absent a consultant, and that the negotiation process remains opaque to the people of Plainville. The Planning Board process is more accessible and open to residents of Plainville and surrounding towns, and they must be urged to wait until they have much more information before even beginning to discuss this Change in Use.

Please attend, if you can. Please pass this along to other concerned citizens.
