Action Continues

While we have had an initial success in getting our zoning regulations amended to NOT PERMIT Asphalt production in all zones of North Canaan, our fight continues.  Metcalf's lawsuit against the zoning board continues in court and we are awaiting a decision by the judge on whether to allow Metcalf to proceed on a technicality. The judge could actually decide to let Metcalf proceed without any further say from the town's people. The judge may also agree with the town, that with no zoning provision to allow asphalt manufacture the result would have been the same even if the application was accepted - it would have been disallowed.

Many people think that the new amendment to our zoning regulations is stopping Metcalf - but it is not. For we know Metcalf is appealing the decision of the zoning board to not permit asphalt production in our town. Metcalf is clearly ignoring this town vote and the overwhelming support by townspeople to halt any asphalt production in North Canaan. So again, "We do not want your plant in North Canaan Mr. Metcalf!"

So, please spread the word that this battle continues. His lawsuit continues and he keeps filing appeals both of which the town must spend resources to answer.

So keep the signs up and keep emailing/writing your town and state officials.

Keep North Canaan healthy.
