Letter: North Yarmouth slate would slow town’s rapid growth

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 8, 2022

Over the past six years, North Yarmouth has endured a group of residents with an agenda to turn the quiet nature of a rural area into an urban center. That sparked a referendum to limit building permits so the town can attempt to slow growth, “catch its breath,” and figure out how we want to proceed going forward. The group that opposed this referendum lost and decided to run for the select board in hopes of reversing the outcome. They have no plan. Vote for Kevin Robinson, Paul Whitmarsh, David Reed or Jim Moulton. These four will preserve the rural character of North Yarmouth, while keeping seniors, taxes and development as their priorities. ~ Bill Young, North Yarmouth
