THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, JAnUAry 20, 2023 Page 15 THE SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 13 a modest scale will give developers more flexibility and property owners more incentive to invest in their property. There is no reinvention of the wheel that needs to happen as there is an abundance of precedent of what works in small Main Street districts across the state and country that apply here,” he said. In his email to Town Meeting members, Vecchione described the upcoming Jan. 25 meeting as “a loosely structured meeting where high-level zoning concepts and ideas can be floated and discussions can be had (i.e., how many floors should we allow, what kind of uses should we promote, how is parking being addressed, etc.).” “Whether you are for or against my personal or political views, regardless of your position on mixed use, parking, green space, or other relevant concepts, it’s important to get everyone’s perspective, particularly those who are responsible for voting for or against this article come May,” Vecchione wrote his colleagues. If members cannot attend the upcoming “zoom” meeting, Vecchione said there would be more similar meetings. Here are the “Zoom” credentials for the Jan. 25 meeting Joe Vecchione - 7751 is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Hats off, particularly to the members of the special Town Meeting Revitalization Committee who put a public focus on this long overdue project which has eluded the town for more than three decades. Want to “Shout Out” a fellow Saugonian? This is an opportunity for our paper’s readers to single out – in a brief mention – remarkable acts or achievements by Saugus residents or an act of kindness or a nice gesture. Just send an email (mvoge@ comcast.net) with a mention in the subject line of “An Extra Shout Out.” No more than a paragraph; anything longer might lend itself to a story and/or a photo Legion breakfasts on Friday mornings Saugus American Legion Post 210 hosts its popular breakfasts from 8-9 a.m. on Fridays. The Legion requests a donation of $8 from those who are looking for a delicious meal at Legion Hall. The Legion also welcomes veterans who can’t afford the meal to enjoy a free breakfast. Bon appétit! Compost/Recycling DropOff Site Closing for Winter The Town of Saugus Compost/Recycling Drop-Off Site closed for the winter season on Dec. 10.
