As downtown business and real estate owners — but without a Middlebury vote on Town Meeting Day — we strongly urge all UD-3 (Middlebury, Cornwall, Weybridge, Shoreham, Bridport, Ripton, Salisbury) residents to attend the Feb. 25 meeting and vote your support for the board to enter into lease discussions for the new municipal gym building.
For those of us who do not lay our heads in Middlebury, but work, shop, dine and play there, it is our only chance to show our enthusiasm for this first step and to create some momentum for the eventual town vote to move forward on the entire town/gown proposal and its numerous benefits to all of us.
