Letter to the Editor – Waylandpost

Dear Wayland Post,

As to the cover story and photo on the Terrain proposal, I was completely baffled as to why the Post would profile a photo of a building that is not even being proposed here – and then not even label what the photo is – and then not even mention in the article that Terrain is proposing to repurpose the existing buildings? Wow.

So many people were confused by the front-page image and story – when in reality what is being proposed is simple reuse of the existing buildings and parking lot for a creative attractive use. One that can finally fill properties that have sat vacant for years. This is an important topic to get right.

Please next time post actual images that are readily available, and which are the basis for public hearings, so that people have the correct news. Please step up on editing!

Thank you,

Rebecca Stanizzi
