State Rep, John Fernandes Backs Community Concerns About Foxwoods Project
Powerful audio on WMRC….State Representative John Fernandes discusses the environmental impact and the recent change in site location, and insists that it could have easily been avoided had Foxwoods made an attempt to discuss their site preference with the Army Corps of Engineers prior to making it public. After several months of residents raising the same issue, it took a state rep’s comments to gain traction. Foxwoods' hasty move to go public with their original site location reinforces even the Selectmen's concerns about receiving accurate information within a compressed time schedule.
