Save Woodbury?

Save Woodbury?
I keep seeing signs around town saying Save Woodbury and I started to think about all the things we can save Woodbury from. What we will save the town is a Vision and a Mission statement just like in the corporate world, that’s what we do every year or two. But then again a vision is a comprehensive plan or a master plan and well we all know the story on that. But let’s not dwell on that but look at the past and see how we got here today. We need to look back at the Town, zoning and planning boards of the 1980’s and 90’s who put us in this “save mode”. But let’s not forget the consultants who we paid thousand and thousands of dollars only to tell us to down zone then up zone and now telling us to down zone again. What we really need to Save Woodbury is Just start over, work together with people who live here not who make long term planning decisions and don’t have to live here. Rather then save lets get better planning with a long term vision.
