The residents of EGR will have the opportunity on 2/22/05 to VOTE on whether 5,6, and 7 story buildings belong in East.

Voting against Jade Pig’s high-rise development can mean many different things to different people:

  • You think our town’s charming character should not be compromised.
  • You are distressed with the process.
  • You worry about the increased traffic.
  • You consider the long-term perspective more important than just doing anything to be rid of the dirt lot.
  • You realize that the alleged tax benefits are not worth the price our community is paying.
  • You fear that this development will set a precedent, and other high-rise buildings will inevitably follow.
Whatever your reasons…
A vote against the Jade Pig development is a vote against overdevelopment and for Responsible Growth!!

"I would love to see a real courtyard, village style approach, with gardens, terraces, some smaller condos, some stores with one or two story condos over them, with a real village look. I could see it flourishing."
East resident Mary-Ann Perry

"Residents should be confident that the land is far too valuable; it will not remain vacant for long."
East resident John Levings
