Last year it was the jolly old yo-ho-ho University of Connecticut that wanted to divert millions of gallons of water from the reservoir.
Now, it’s a planned industrial park on the banks of the Farmington in the Satan’s Kingdom area. Here’s what I know: the proposed property borders a 2000-foot stretch of the river in Satan’s Kingdom Gorge. Even though the area holds a Wild and Scenic designation, the required setback is only 100 feet.
How can you help?
1) Go to the New Hartford Zoning Commission meeting at the New Hartford Town Hall on Wednesday, May 28, 7:00pm and tell them we don’t need no steenking industrial park.
2) Like this group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/savesatanskingdom
We kicked UConn’s butt last year. We can do the same with this threat. Grassroots activism works!
Sunrise on a misty summer morning in the gorge. Do I really need to see an industrial park peeking through the trees?
So sorry we can’t make the meeting but we are so against the development. The river is worth fighting for. Thank you!
