Back to the village. Great idea but modern people want it to be picturesque and don't tend to like the reality of country and farm life. We have dirt roads, pot holes, the snow doesn't get plowed in time for them, manure needs to be stock piled and then spread on the fields, animals call out to each other in the fields, trees get cut, views change. When city people come to the country they often complain about the weirdest things. But this is the reality. Their low slung car is not going to make it in mud season.
I hope he succeeds and brings people closer to food, growing it, raising animals, processing it. This is real life. People need to know that reality doesn't come plastic wrapped.
Cheers

DALTON, Mass. — The town invites the community to participate in a public meeting as it updates its Hazard Mitigation Plan.
The meeting will be held on Friday, March 8 from 10:30 to 11:30 am at Town Hall. Participants can also attend the meeting virtually using this information:
This plan details all the natural hazard risks that may impact the town and includes potential actions to mitigate those risks.
The Town invites residents from both Dalton and regional communities to actively participate in this upcoming public meeting. The town welcomes insights on identifying high-risk hazards, pinpointing vulnerable areas within the town, and providing constructive feedback on effective strategies for mitigating these risks.
The Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee, in partnership with Jamie Caplan Consulting LLC, a Northampton based firm, is developing the plan with a grant from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).
FEMA approval, coupled with Town adoption, will enable Dalton to access pre- and post-disaster hazard mitigation grant funds.
