I respectfully argue that the "intense process of research, discussion, vetting, and negotiation with many parties" mentioned by Allen Vander Meulen around the Mall development has not effectively occurred. This is evident given the difficulties the planning board is now facing, as well the

The claim that the town leadership is "pro development and are reaching for max density” - as well as implying illegal favoritism - departs very far from reality, re-casting a very complicated and nuanced landscape with a trite and false generalization. We have a very diverse group of people
