Keep Costco Out of Guilford
September 26th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
Let’s keep Costco off the Rockpile in Guilford, Connecticut!
If we allow Costco to change our regulations, we will allow the door to open for more big-box retail stores in Guilford. We need to preserve our local businesses and Guilford, as a historic town.
A Costco warehouse on the Rockpile would put six to seven thousand more cars on our roads on weekdays. Double that and you get the number of cars that will be on our roads on weekends.
If you are against allowing Costco to be built on the Guilford Rockpile, then please e-mail PZC Chairman Ray Bower at planning.zoning@ci.guilford.ct.us. Every e-mail sent to Bower will become part of the public record and will be counted.
Also, please carbon copy your e-mail to First Selectman Joe Mazza at mazzaj@ci.guilford.ct.us. Mazza said on September 7 that he is hearing from Guilford residents IN FAVOR of Costco, “at least 2 to 1.”
Other ways to help:
- Write letters to local newspaper editors. Sue Braden of the Shoreline Times at shorelinetimes@ctcentral.com, Brian Boyd of the Guilford Courier news@shorepublishing.com, and the New Haven Register letters@nhregister.com.
- Make an appearance at the Public Hearings!
