Original Story

A Board of Selectmen’s Meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 11 at 7pm in the Haddam Town Hall.

The Citizens for the Protection of Public Land's (CPPL) 2nd petition to call a special town meeting is on the agenda.

We all need to be present to hear and respond to the decision the board makes to reject, as they did previously, or approve, the call for this meeting of the town’s legislature.

Your voice matters.

If your government doesn’t want to hear it, the more important that you speak up and insist. Be Heard!

If the decision is announced before this meeting we will try to inform you.

But, either way, it is important for you to come to this meeting.

The swap MAY be over, but the need for your voice to be heard in YOUR government ISN'T!
