Egremont ZBA proposes unnecessary exterior lighting changes for Egremont Village Inn

The current lighting has received no complaints from bordering neighbors

 To the Editor:

We, as business owners in Egremont, are taking this opportunity to voice our strong support for the Egremont Village Inn and The Barn ahead of Egremont’s Zoning Board of Appeals hearing on Monday, March 18, 2019 at 7 p.m. at Egremont’s Town Hall. The ZBA is calling this hearing to potentially enforce changes to the businesses’ exterior lighting. We maintain any changes proposed by the ZBA are unnecessary, that the current lighting has received no complaints from bordering neighbors, that it has no disruptive effect on Route 23 traffic and that it is in keeping with the character of Main Street, South Egremont.

We urge Egremont residents to turn out for the ZBA hearing on March 18th to show their support for the Egremont Village Inn and The Barn.

Is there a more accurate name for ‘detention centers’?

Terms like “detention center” are not neutral—they are bureaucratic euphemisms that soften harsh realities. Journalists routinely reject government-preferred language when accuracy demands it. This is such a moment.
