It is against the Town's best interest to let a large drug store be built there because we would loose our National Registry listing and all the financial advantages we receive through that listing. There must be a better way to have economic development than to shoot ourselves in the foot with a drug store! Please preserve what is left of our historic district. We are counting on you. You stood up against the destruction of the historic four square pocket neighborhood on Mathes Terrace, now we need you to stand up against this project. Sincerely, Lynn Holmes David Holmes Sent from my iPad
