To the Editor,
The green “YES on MBTA Zoning” signs in town are an effort by a grassroots, crowd-funded group of residents from MBTS. The QR code on the sign directs people to public documents that provide information for residents about the zoning changes. We believe the best source of information on MBTA Zoning is the town itself, the public documents released on the Town of Manchester website, and town officials and citizens who have been working on this issue for over a year.
We are in favor of MBTA Zoning Laws because they can:
•. Maintain the character of the town by creating restrictions and keeping zoning changes within local control
•. Address the problem of low housing stock and high housing prices gradually over time
•. Allow the town to maintain access state grant money vital for town projects and budgets
•. Prevent lawsuits that would drain town resources
