campaign, in which town leaders would combine efforts to retain our current young people and recruit DHS alumni back to the area.We are pleased that a lively discussion is taking place and believe the subject merits another look.
Reader "Mike" has offered his three-point plan for implementing a Move-Back-To-Dorchester campaign. The keys to such an effort, Mike writes, are ensuring that quality housing is available and convincing fellow citizens that the community is a "product that must be sold" to others -- including our young people.Reader "CJ" noted that there is a new housing development underway in the northwest section of town. An anonymous reader commented that "September 12 should be the launch of the pavement project" to improve Dorchester's streets.
We appreciate the substantive comments being generated at this post, and we enourage all Times readers to leave their own thoughtful ideas.
lets get the water, and the water town fix first before we talk about pavement. We need to get the new well up and running, then worry about the pavement which will never happen.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the formation of a paving committee. That would get the ball rolling.
ReplyDeletePeople aren't going to want to move to a community with unsafe drinking water. I say fix the water first. You can live without pavement, you can't live without water.
ReplyDeleteProper water systems are needed in Dorchester. Paved streets are great, but not needed. In order for Dorchester to appeal to younger homeowners I believe that both are a necessity.
