Sailwinds Planning: November 17th at 6:00 p.m. at the County Office Building

Dear Group:

On November 17th at 6:00 p.m. at the County Office Building (Enter through the rear door), there will be a meeting of the city council about the planning for Sailwinds.

There are a number of challenges that Cambridge faces with regard to this project that are too numerous and detailed to go into here. The details of this project have not been made available in any detail to the public so far, and, hopefully, that will happen at this meeting.

It is important that the meeting room be filled with those of us who are interested in this issue as it is very important to the community.

Sailwinds is one of, if not the, most important pieces of any successful future development of Cambridge or preservation of a valuable attraction and resource of this community. Who the developer will be, how much we as taxpayers will be asked to contribute to this project through our taxes, and what vision the city leadership and developer have for Sailwinds are all unknown at this point.

We need to pay close attention to what is going on and ask hard questions of those we have elected to make decisions such as this for us, as they will be doing it without having any community input by referendum or other public vote on the matter.

See you on the 17th.

Steve
