Then again we are talking about 18 acres in an 8600 acre management area. The precedent has already been set with AMGEN and CARDI, and the State Police are just that, the State Police. That said I can't imagine this isn't going to happen. IF the state decides to start selling lots off to the highest bidder for housing or something, even under the premise of trying to address affordable housing, that's another thing altogether. I understand the viewpoint of GrowSmart RI, and in an ideal world BR would be left untouched. If anything another exemption like this one bolsters our case to gain access to BR, and to be able to ride and contribute to BR legally. Also, emergency services that close to an 8600 acre management area may not be a bad thing for users. Put in perspective it's not like they're proposing to build a Mall Wart or a water park or anything like that. Ultimately I don't want it in there, but it's not the worst thing in the world either, as long as it doesn't set off a cavalcade of building in BR. Accordong to the Channel 10 poll those in favor of building it have a nice lead over those against (of course all this tells us is that people who bothered to view the survey while goofing off at work in the middle of the day are for the police station - and who trusts their judgement anyway? Get back to work hippies!!). Speaking of working I've gotta go.... It’s a little creepy when an area designated for drinking water (via wells) and open space is parcelled out.
