On January 22nd a public hearing will be held at the Dracut High School Library at 7 p.m. for the proposed Chapter 40B affordable housing development between Merrimack Avenue and Methuen St. The proposed development will contain 62 single-family homes and 32 townhouses on a 27-acre lot.

This proposed 40B project should draw strong opposition from town officials and residents within that area of Dracut. There are already two other Chapter 40B projects in that immediate area that have already been approved. Brigham Avenue and Robbins Avenue are the ones. It also must be noted that at the end of Haverhill St. where it intersects with Methuen St., there is already more building of houses on approved lots. There seems to be another building project in the works on Methuen St. just before the Arlington and Methuen St. split off coming from the Campbell School direction. The road has been created and clearing seems to be underway.

I mention all the above projects because of the drastic increase in population in that corridor of Dracut will have a major impact on all town resources. The Campbell School would be hit the hardest.

A small group of residents in this area have begun to discuss this project and will be rallying up the others to attend this public meeting. I am hoping that not only residents in that general area oppose it, but also the ones from other areas of town.

See you at the meeting!
