Up or down vote
(Preview)
How about an up or down Planning Board vote on Christ Church? What could it hurt? The Board complains about too many revisions, incomplete data, threats, etc. There's enough info to give Ireland the boot. Why don't they?

Future PB Meetings Contingent?

New Traffic Questions
(Preview)
The new plans raise a couple of questions in my mind re traffic as follows:
1. In the application process is the planning board allowed to take into consideration negative traffic impacts outside the borders of RT? It's clear that if exiting traffic leaves 140 GPR and proceeds down meriden r...

Condemnation Timeline
(Preview)
Here are some thoughts on a timeline for the condemnation of 140 GPR.
We need to take the property before Ireland takes possession. There are a few reasons for this, IMHO:
1. If we take it from Agilent, we can probably get away with a few million for the process.
2. If we wait until after irel...
