Greetings!!

The Town of Simsbury Board of Finance, Board of Selectman and Planning Commission have taken the final steps to ensure that we can VOTE for the preservation of the Ethel Walker Property on the regular election day ballot, November 7th.  The new financing arrangement makes it much easier for the town to finance the property without a large bonding up front, and provides more time to secure state and federal grants. 

 

Here are the latest stories in reverse order:

 

And a lead editorial written by the Courant on this issue:

 

IMMEDIATELY, we are cranking up our fundraising and efforts to get out the YES vote.  Many of you replied to indicate that you will vote yes.  We need each of you to identify as many YES votes as possible, ASAP.  Please do one of three things immediately:

 

1.  Reply to this email with the names and addresses of any other voters (friends, relatives neighbors, colleagues) that you know are committed to voting yes.  Send in your yes vote and any other voters in your house ASAP if you have not done so already.  Give a few people a call who you think are supportive, confirm their vote, and send in their name and address. 

2.  Send an email to your list of contacts in Simsbury and ask them if they plan on voting yes, compile a list from the replies, and send in to us; OR

3.  Email your contacts this information so they can log their support in electronically:
