Hi,

Please forward my request to the full board of aldermen.

| do not support the plan to build 40+ houses on the Baker property at 15 Bartlett.

Dear Aldermen of the City of Nashua, I’m writing to request
your support on resolutions R-21-202 and R-21-203 to
purchase the 15 Bartlett Ave parcel (plot 57-3) which is
encompassed on three sides by Greeley Park. Allowing this
13-acre forest to be cut down so that a 43-unit housing
development can be built would have a permanent and
enduring negative impact on the city for generations to
come.

Thank you,
Katherine LaChance
