Vernal Pools and Wetland Wildlife. Wednesday, 2/17/2010, 7:00 PM, Town Hall
Presentation on Sandown Wetland Study Thursday, 2/18/2010, 7:00 PM, Town Hall
Please Vote "No" on Warrant Article 13 and "Yes" on Zoning Amendment 3.

     
 

Open Space Saves Us $$. Vote “No” on Warrant Article 13

Warrant Article 13 would reduce development money from going into Sandown’s Conservation Fund; money that is used to acquire open space for Sandown, all in the name of reducing taxes. This is penny wise and pound foolish.

Open Space Reduces Long Term Taxpayer Costs

Undeveloped open space costs the taxpayer $0. Land used for housing developments directly impacts school budgets and increases taxes.

Please Vote "No" on Warrant Article 13.
