PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • February 26, 2022
I grew up in North Yarmouth and decided this is where I wanted to raise a family. Almost 50 years here now. A few years back I noticed new, large developments sprouting up around our rural town. When I learned there were unlimited building permits issued in certain areas of town, it came as a shock. I understand development will happen. Does it need to happen all at once, in any kind of unlimited fashion? For this reason I urge North Yarmouth residents to vote “yes” on March 15 to tap the brakes a bit on development – not to stop it. ~ Jeffrey Brown, North Yarmouth
