We anticipate preserving the natural beauty of the area. Several residents of the Bog Meadow neighborhood spoke about against our request, focused on traffic disruption and concern that our presence would cause their wells to run dry. In a follow-up letter Mr. Anthony addressed their concerns. It is important to not that a church would use much less water than a private home, which apparently the speakers would prefer, and that traffic generated by the 75 or so congregants would be primarily on Sunday mornings, not a high use time for Louden Road. We have been well received by the Upper Broadway neighbors in our current location of twenty years, and would hope to establish similarly comfortable relations with those of Bog Meadow. Please support our opportunity to develop a positive presence on this Louden Road property Attach Photo (optional)Field not completed. Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
