Rogers School Proposal Too Massive
This letter was sent to the Fairhaven Selectboard
The proposal for the Rogers School property is far too massive for that residential area. This is not an urban area and should not be treated as such.
This is a historical area and needs to be on the National Register of Historic Places.
A building that size would be better served at the G. Bourne Knowles site, almost across from the project on the north side, on Route 6 east of Stop & Shop not at the Rogers School property.
Don’t be eager to dispose of this historic property, the first gift from the Town benefactor, Henry Huttleston Rogers, which really needs to be retained by the Town of Fairhaven.
Put your Town Planner to work to seek grants for historic property to renovate it and use it for Town offices.
Thank you.
Karen Vilandry, Fairhaven
