A lot has been happening in Cheshire. Opposition to the North End development appears to be growing at a phenomenal rate.
This is the place to air your opinions, pro or con.
Nothing should happen to Cheshire that is not exposed to the light of day.
Exposure and disclosure is what this site will try to accomplish.

Developer's Petition Proves Lack of Public Support
The developers had said that most people, 85%, were for the project. Their claim was baseless as evidenced by the fact that a few people in a few days could get 595 signatures in opposition to this poorly thought out project. In contrast to the 595 signers, the pro people only got 150 in that same time period and their petition included two of the current property owners, and relatives and employees of all three property owners. From this alone, it is obvious that the project actually has very little real public support. Why else do the owners have to resort to signing their own petition to get any show of support.
It's time to (1) Reject this environmentaly harmful project, (2) Change The Town Plan of Conservation and Development and the zoning back to what it was, (3) Develop the interchange zone like our current industrial park , with it's broad expanses of green, ponds, wildlife and good paying jobs.
Didn't Sean Strollo say we could always reverse the Town Plan and zone change? Surely Sean and the other members of the P&Z can see that all negatives of this project far outweigh any possible financial gain, if there really are any.
A nice full-page Ad, in opposition to the mall, was in this week's Herald. About time.
Check out the Cheshire Town Post site. A review of the latest pro mall petition proves there is little support for the mall. Out of 150 signatures there are some interesting signers, the current owners of the 107 acres and their families, as well as Doug Calcagni's realtors and some signatures that were obviously signed be someone other than the signed name. 54 out of 150 signatures are very interesting. Why do these people have to resort to these tactics to push up the number in support of this mall?
