To the Editor:
As someone who was born and raised in Marion, who spent my entire childhood on Pie Alley, I want to lend my full support to preserving the timeless beauty and unique character of the Historical District of our Village Center.
Because I have always cherished my time in Marion, about ten years ago I decided to retire here and registered to vote in Marion, so to become more involved within our local community. In writing to you all now, my goal is to express my enthusiasm and personal commitment in preserving our charming little town and all of its rich history, from its busy harbor in the summer to the varied range of charming architectural styles. And, nothing better represents our collective New England mindset than our Historic Village District.
The Historic District honors the traditions of the past with a hopeful vision towards our future. To ensure future generations can experience what we all take for granted, please vote YES for the Marion Village Historic District Bylaw at the Town Meeting, on Monday, May 12th.
Thank you & sincerely,
C.C. Dyer, Marion
