I’d like to add my voice to those who have spoken in opposition to paving Pond Road. I’ve lived on Pond Road for several years and would hate to see the road and the surrounding area change in the way that paving the road would create. A large part in our choice to buy in… Read More

Please let’s preserve beautifully scenic, rural, and historic Pond Road. For us, it is a lovely preamble to visiting wild Shelburne Pond. Cars whizzing along a paved Pond Road will negatively impact this special, protected place.

We are writing in support of the re-election of Bill Smith to the Selectboard. While on the Selectboard, Bill’s goal has always been to consider all sides of the issues and make decisions based on what is in the best interest of our town and its residents. This is not an easy task, as most… Read More
