I subscribe to the Mount Sunapee newsletter and got the letter below in my email. It seems like this battle is endless and ongoing. I also see information like this on their FB page.
I am writing you once again to bring you up to date on the recent developments surrounding Mount Sunapee’s pending Master Development Plan (MDP).
Last week at the DRED Public Hearing at Mount Sunapee, our opponents from around the state turned out in full force and continued to misrepresent the work we have done here at Mount Sunapee, as well as distort the statements of fact supporting DRED’s conditional approval of the MDP.
DRED has reviewed the plan, and their draft decision is a good one.
It enables Mount Sunapee to continue to build upon our successful 17-year track record as accountable and responsible stewards of the resort, and recognizes the importance of careful stewardship of the State Park. DRED’s decision balances recreational growth and land conservation while helping to keep Mount Sunapee competitive in the ski-industry and as the economic engine that drives our region. As part of the MDP, the State of New Hampshire gains over 400 acres of land; 150 acres for resort operations and another 260 for permanent conservation added to our beloved State Park. This land, currently valued at over $1 million, is at no cost to the state and will be donated by Mount Sunapee.
OUR OPPONENTS WON’T STOP UNTIL THEY PUT AN END TO THE RESPONSIBLE BALANCE OF CONSERVATION AND ENHANCEMENT OF THE SUNAPEE OUTDOOR RECREATION EXPERIENCE.
We need you, your family members and friends to voice your support for Mount Sunapee and the Master Development Plan as conditionally approved by the state. That is why I am asking you to once again commit your support in writing and submit it to the state officials who will have the ultimate say on our ability to move Mount Sunapee forward. Their contact information is listed below.
RIGHT NOW, the State is holding an open public comment period through June 5th. We ask that you send your supportive comments today, as time is quickly running out. The more supportive voices, the better chance we will have at being successful in our efforts. WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP!
During the last comment period, your support helped us achieve over 70% positive comments for Mount Sunapee, and the endorsements of five area towns (Newbury, Goshen, Newport, Sunapee, and Bradford) for the MDP. We need to do that again, and we’re counting on YOU!
Please write DRED Commissioner Jeff Rose, Governor Maggie Hassan and all five of the state’s Executive Councilors to voice your support for the Mount Sunapee Master Development Plan.
Sincerely,
Signature
