Time after time, residents of Farmville have stood up at the lectern and stated their opposition to the Martins’ request to tear down historic houses and erect an apartment complex in its place.

When the governing body ceases to listen and disregards the voice and the wishes of its constituents, then we no longer have a democracy.

It is my hope that this Council will do the right thing and follow the lead of the Planning Board by denying the Martins’ application.

Mark your calendars for the next Council meeting Wednesday, June 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the Council chamber in the Town Hall, and come and show your support to keep the historic character of High Street intact.
