On Tuesday, residents of Woodbridge will go to the polls to make an important decision. An editorial in the Milford-Orange Bulletin, in support of the deal, Toll Brothers is good deal for town, puts it this way:

Will they approve a plan to help pay for a major track of open space by selling a small portion, or will they opt to wait for a possible better offer that does not currently exist and potentially miss this chance to secure the future of the parcel?

They conclude,

When facing this major decision, Woodbridge voters should rest assured that their elected leaders have done their homework, put together a very good plan, and are presenting it to the town’s citizens for their approval. This makes the choice much easier: The Bulletin supports a Yes vote.

James Urbano, who Manta lists as owner of F & J Urbano CO Builders in Woodbridge, “private company which is listed under home builders”, and is listed on the town website as a member of the Conservation Commission has a letter in the Bulletin, Vote No on land sale, which starts off,

The Boards of Finance and Selectmen claim that “Woodbridge tax rates will climb significantly” if townspeople say “No” to Toll Bros. It’s unfortunate that town officials have resorted to scare tactics. The sale is not good for Woodbridge.

I have only made it to the special town meeting on the topic, and so my information is based on what was presented there. I also serve on the town’s Government Access Television commission and the commission has started sharing recordings of some town meetings on YouTube on the WGATV 79 YouTube Channel.

I encourage all the residents of Woodbridge to read both the Editorial in favor of the land sale and the letter in opposition to the land sale. I then encourage you to watch the videos of the town meetings. The meetings are long and are broken into segments to fit onto YouTube. Then, once you are informed about the issue, be sure to get to the Center on the 13th to vote.
