In a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the potential environmental impact of construction activities near Wolf Road, particularly on pristine wetlands. Residents expressed frustration over the lack of communication from Eversource, the utility company involved in the project, with one property owner stating he had not been contacted at all about the developments.

The discussions highlighted the need for better outreach to all property owners affected by the project. One resident pointed out that only two of the three property owners utilizing Wolf Road had been notified, raising questions about the adequacy of the consultation process. The proposed installation of a larger 16-foot gate, replacing a 12-foot gate, was also a point of contention, with residents seeking clarity on maintenance responsibilities and the potential impact on access to their properties.

Bill Wolf, a local resident, detailed his long-standing issues with Eversource, including disputes over right-of-way access and the installation of a new, larger utility pole that he claimed obstructed his property rights. He expressed deep concerns about the proposed construction plans, which he argued would significantly disrupt the wetlands that have remained untouched for over a century.

The meeting underscored a broader sentiment among residents that Eversource has not adequately addressed their concerns or provided clear information about the project’s implications. As the discussion opened to public comments, it became evident that many residents were anxious about the potential destruction of the wetlands and the lack of transparency from the utility company regarding their plans. The community is now calling for more comprehensive communication and a thorough review of the environmental impacts before any construction begins.
