Letter: Three candidates will preserve character in Falmouth
In November 2023, Falmouth citizens repudiated resoundingly the Town Council’s “Urban Vision” by voting to restrict building heights within the Route 1 Village Center.

Next week, Falmouth town councilors will vote on a proposal for workforce housing development on a town-owned site near the police department.

He sees the protests as very positive and a morale booster for the people of Gaza and sees very little […]
