I am an associate member of the Kelley’s Corner Steering Committee (KCSC), but this letter is
my personal opinion.
The proposed purchase of 19 and 35 Wetherbee Street does not make sense to me. The two
parcels are assessed at $385,000. The proposed purchase is for $3,600,000. This almost three-
million-dollar profit requires explanation. Furthermore, these two parcels total 31 flat acres
adjacent to the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail and Great Road (2A), making them ideal for various
low- and middle-income housing. They abut the Wetherbee Conservation Land of 72 acres.
Putting these properties into conservation land does not make sense, so I urge the town
meeting attendees to vote no on Article 1.
