UPDATED: CODDER engages Counsel

On July 2, 2013 CODDER 02806 engaged William W. Harsch, with offices in Warwick R.I. as Counsel in the matter of the proposed $14.5 million development of rental housing units on the Sowams Nursery in Barrington.

Updates:


He appeared on our behalf at the Planning Board Meeting on July 2nd and  will be eliciting the testimony of experts on various matters concerning the project at a meeting of the Planning Board scheduled for July 16, 2013 (also reported in Patch).

We felt it necessary to engage an attorney to rebut the many misrepresentations that have surrounded this controversial project, and to support, within the legal framework, our claims concerning the inappropriateness of this proposed project.

As a result, we will be seeking your help in raising money to cover future costs. This is a matter with broad implications concerning the welfare of our community and our Town, and we have tried to present those to you in an honest and straightforward manner on our blog and in the media.  If enough of our many supporters pitch in we should be easily able to cover the prospective costs.

There will be more details soon!
