Hi all, Hwei-Ling Greeney, a member of the Amherst Select board, has invited any of you who are interested to attend this meeting next week as part of ongoing deliberations relating to the Amherst master plan. Although not everyone is from Amherst, lots of you come here for food, shopping, the new cinema or to work at the colleges, so your input is valid. No need to write to me unless you are interested. You can reach me directly at az at a-zinternational.com. best, Amy Zuckerman Hidden-Tech Founder Dear friend, Where to build more housing? What open space to preserve? What type of zoning change can accomplish a higher density of mixed use development? These are significant questions. The Town of Amherst is in the midst of completing a master plan. A land use draft has been produced in the process. Given the important work you do, I believe, it is fitting for me to invite you to come to the stakeholders meeting. At this one-hour meeting, you will be briefed by ACPthe nationally acclaimed consulting firm which specializes conducting master planning in college towns like ours, of the draft land use plan. The bulk of the meeting will be devoted to you and the interests you represent. As a selected participant, you can help to fine tune the draft and provide feedback to enrich the final land use product at the end. The meeting will take place at 1:30 PM, Thursday, March 29 at the Amherst College Alumni House (off Spring Street). As a member of the Amherst Select Board, I am fully aware of the constituency you represent and the level of expertise you posses. I sincerely hope you will accept my humble invitation and come to the stakeholder meeting on Amherst land use. I am excited about the opportunity to work with you. I look forward to hearing from you. Please RSVP at your earliest convenience (253-4882; greeneyh at juno.com). Thank you for your consideration, Hwei-Ling Greeney Member of Amherst Select Board Comprehensive Planning Committee Liaison
