...and you can WRITE TO DECISION-MAKERS

A handful of people voted to grant the Special Permit, making a decision of critical importance affecting many residents' safety, health, property value, and quality of life. These same people can now change their position and revoke the Special Permit. Many local and state officials in New Hampshire who began by supporting "biomass plants" in their communities have changed their position once they had better information, and now solidly oppose the projects. With the people behind them, our elected officials can also change their position.
Write a letter asking these Board members to revoke the Special Permit. It is important to write to ALL members regardless of their position:
