Espindola Supports Powers
The Mission Statement of the Planning Board, as written on the Town website, reads “The Planning Board studies the resources and needs of the Town, particularly conditions affecting public welfare and safety related to land use and development. The Board uses the Master Plan and related processes to plan and make recommendations for the development of the Town, with special attention to the proper housing of Town residents”
I feel that there are times when we lose sight of the very important words “particularly conditions affecting public welfare and safety related to land use and development”.
We all want to see responsible growth but we also need to recognize that it is the responsibility of the Planning Board to act in the best interest of the residents of the community, first and foremost.
Sean Powers is running for a seat on the Planning Board and I am supporting Sean because I know he will stay true to that mission. He will advocate for the proper balance between development, protection of the residents of the Town and retaining the charm that makes Fairhaven such a desirable place to live.
He has already taken the training required, showing his dedication. He is committed to using the Town’s Master Plan as a guide to his decision making, showing that he will take the documented interests of residents of the Town in mind at all times.
Sean is a very smart person, and he is willing to put in the time and effort and do his homework on the issues. I know this because I experienced it first hand, having worked with Sean for twenty years at Acushnet Company. As an Information Technology professional, Sean has spent his career listening to people explain their problems, assessing the complexity of their individual circumstances and solving problems to their satisfaction.
I believe Sean’s many years of experience as a technical, analytical and customer service oriented person at work will place him in a great position to utilize those same skills in his role on the Planning Board.
Sean will listen, he will work hard for you and you can rely on him to adhere to the Mission of the Planning Board as outlined on the Town’s website.
I will be voting for Sean Powers for Planning Board, not only because he is a trusted friend, who I feel is worthy of this position, but because I know he is a great choice to represent all of us.
I hope you will consider joining me in casting a vote for Sean Powers for Planning of Fairhaven Board on Monday, April 7th.
Bob Espindola, Fairhaven
