The Billerica Board of Health will meet Monday evening, September 8th, at 7:30 PM.  Two power plant-related items are on the agenda including discussion of a letter from the Billerica Conservation Commission and a letter from the Tewksbury Board of Health.  The meeting is at Billerica Town Hall, at 365 Boston Road, Billerica, MA
 
Billerica has a new town manager. Mr. William F. Williams.  Hopefully Mr. Williams will be interested in the concerns residents have regarding the power plant proposal.  He can be reached via e-mail at smichelini@town.billerica.ma.us
 
As candidates weigh in on different issues during the upcoming election season, voters should consider the candidates' positions on issues of concern to them at the state and local levels.  Your voice matters and constituents should take every opportunity to contact their candidates of choice to express their views.  There are two specific races of interest at the state level: incumbent State Representative Bill Greene versus Jim O'Donnell (current Billerica Selectmen), and Ken Donnelly versus Jack Hurd for Senator Jim Marzilli's seat. 
 
In other power plant news, the towns surrounding the site of the proposed Brockton power plant continue to express their strong opposition, much like those in Lowell, Chelmsford, Tewksbury, and other neighboring communities around the proposed site of the Billerica power plant.  Click here to read the article.
 
 
Car Magnets
 
Many, many people remain unaware of the power plant proposal.  Car magnets are available to help raise awareness.  Magnets are 4" by 6", and there is no charge.  Please let us know if you'd like a car magnet at info@BillericaPowerPlant.org
