Why blindside important project?

June 12,2013

 

As a former member of the regional planning commission, I find it very disappointing to learn of their recent blindsiding of SP Land’s proposed development in Killington. This project is an important economic development opportunity that should have the support of the entire region. Planning commission members are appointed to represent the best interests of their community and region, not to throw last minute curve balls that will either delay or prevent this project from going forward. Why weren’t their concerns brought forward in their previous submission? From the outside looking in, it doesn’t look good. Should our commission really be thwarting economic development efforts at the last minute? I hope that common sense prevails and this project is allowed to move forward.
