WHICH P&Z CANDIDATES WILL YOU VOTE FOR
ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD?

Save Westport Now is a non-partisan political party in Westport that has worked for 30 years to keep Westport a small, New England town. SWN has worked with neighborhood groups and with developers to preserve Westport’s heritage.

Save Westport Now supported the P&Z when it passed amendments to allow MORE AFFORDABLE UNITS at Sasco Creek and Hales Court.

BARON’S SOUTH: Save Westport Now supported the P&Z when it saved Baron’s South as OPEN SPACE for ALL 27,000 residents and future generations to enjoy! In addition, the housing plan was FLAWED!

7 a) Units with ONLY ONE BEDROOM!
b) GRIDLOCK on Imperial Avenue!
c) NO GUARANTEE THAT WESTPORT RESIDENTS WOULD QUALIFY! (See Fair Housing Law)

The Save Westport Now candidates, if elected, will write a 10-year plan that will protect Westport’s small town character.

The Coalition is a new political party that believes that LARGE BUILDINGS will bring “vitality” to downtown Westport. This will lead to more traffic congestion and take away the small town character of Westport.

One Coalition candidate is ON THE RECORD as supporting SIX STORY BUILDINGS in downtown Westport! (See the Amendment #637 file in the P&Z office.)

Another Coalition candidate who supports large buildings downtown said: “We all want charm and diversity, but that doesn’t mean it has to be small.” (LWV debate, Oct. 2015) But, MOST WESTPORTERS WANT TO KEEP OUR DOWNTOWN SMALL!

The Democratic candidate also wants BIGGER BUILDINGS. At the recent LWV debate, he said “limitation of size [buildings downtown] throttles growth.” (Oct. 2015)

Our opponents’ lawn signs say: “A P&Z for all.” Sounds good? But they should really say: “A P&Z FOR ALL DEVELOPERS!” The rest of us want to keep Westport’s small town character!

If you want P&Z Commissioners who will stand up to overzealous developers – If you want people with integrity, heart, and experience who will promote smart growth and preserveWestport’s small town character – then
