Letter to the editor: Don’t raze Wolfe Avenue property until new plan is in place
Dear Sue Cable, Mike Krenesky, and Dominick Sorrentino I understand the property on Wolfe Avenue that was purchased by the town for public use a few years ago is under discussion, and I would like to share my thoughts. I’ve seen various proposals listed in the newspaper that are in the 3 – 4... »
Letter to the editor: Beacon Falls can’t afford demolition
It is distressing to find that the Beacon Falls Board of Selectmen, at their December 13th meeting, voted 2 to 1, along party lines, to “IMMEDIATELY” tear down the town-owned historical residence at 35 Wolfe Avenue known as the Beacon Falls Rubber Shoe Company’s Tracy Lewis House.
