THINK ABOUT IT!
Would you like another 15,000 - 25,000 car trips per day in the Exit 9/South Main Street area? These numbers do not represent a worst-case peak Christmas shopping season, which will increase the numbers significantly!

Are you comfortable with the possibility of fly ash being released into the air during the estimated five years of construction (Fall 2007 - 2011)?

As a resident of Freetown, would you want to look at a retail mega mall on the Assonet Bay Shores instead of natural landscape?

Will the tax revenue generated by this development outweigh the added costs for police & fire infrastructure or will it cost us money?
