Letter: Kuttner for Planning Board

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Ken Kuttner will make a wonderful addition to the Williamstown Planning Board.

The goals of preserving land and creating housing for people of all incomes do not need to be mutually exclusive. And yet some of the changes to the zoning bylaws that the Planning Board has put forth as a means of increasing affordable housing could radically alter the landscape of Williamstown and fail to lead to more affordable housing.

A good, smart planner like Ken Kuttner, a candidate for Planning Board, understands that a well-planned town protects its natural environment and farmland, while also providing housing for people of all incomes. We would all be well served by having such an intelligent and informed voice on the board.
