Letters To The Editor: Nov. 12, 2026

The Chatham Zoning Board of Appeals’ recent denial of the Meetinghouse Road housing proposal may feel like a victory for some, but it is worth looking past the rhetoric to examine the actual trajectory of our town. As current stewards of Chatham, we are called upon to mitigate the subtle assault we are facing — the beautiful delusion of opulence that treats our community as a luxury commodity rather than a living town.

At the time, Executive Director Diana Ruiz said the land could provide breeding habitat for several species in danger of extinction.

Our View: Move Forward With Sea Camps

The more than $1.7 million that Brewster voters will be asked to spend on capital improvements to the Sea Camps bay property at Monday’s special town meeting is an investment worth making. The defeat of master plan funding for the property was a setback; on Nov. 16 voters have an opportunity to put rehabilitation of the property back on track. The money, which comes from community preservation funds and free cash, will rehabilitate tennis courts, allow demolition of up to 21 buildings, replace a water main in an environmentally sensitive area and develop landscaping and trail plans. The property holds the potential for being a real centerpiece for the town, and these steps will continue movement in that direction.
