LETTER: Wormell Voices Support for Lewin's Candidacy

Please join me in voting for Matt Lewin for Westford’s Planning Board in the May 1st Town election. Matt will bring tremendous analytic skill, focus and drive to the position.  These are the traits he demonstrated leading the Unaccepted Roads Committee, solving a decades old problem.

The Planning Board will face many challenges in the years ahead, from rewriting the sign bylaw to implementing the Comprehensive Master Plan. I cannot think of a better person for the task.  Matt investigates what can and cannot be done, listens to what is wanted, assesses the cost and brings clarity to the outcome. He is willing to work hard toward a solution.

The most remarkable characteristic Matt possesses is his keen interest in the role the Planning Board can play to protect natural resources such as open-space, while using development mitigation to offset the residential tax burden. It is truly remarkable because Matt has attended nearly every Planning Board meeting for the past three years to learn how to make it happen.  And his participation on the Finance Committee has shown him what to push for.

Please join me in support of Matt Lewin for the Westford Planning Board if you want a leader who will rollup his sleeves and face challenges head on.

Vote for Matt Lewin for Westford Planning Board on Tuesday, May 1st.
