The Montague Planning Board is attempting to rezone two parcels to promote industrial development.The parcels in question are 21-0-152, a beautiful natural wooded area that borders two cemeteries. Parcel 21-0-004 is Springdale Cemetery.

I hope the advocates of this effort have respect for the natural environment and the sanctity of Springdale and St. Anne’s cemeteries and stop this effort.
