URGENT ACTION ALERT — ENDORSE THE HCAC COMMUNITY LETTER

We are asking residents to email Town officials and formally endorse the HCAC Community Letter.

Before the current moratorium expires in September, the Town must address these concerns and amend the BESS Code to include stronger, enforceable safeguards.

Decisions impacting our homes, schools, first responders, and environment must be based on:

• Independent expert analysis

• Full public transparency

• Demonstrated public safety protections

Our community deserves clear protections before any approvals move forward.
