I am a lifelong resident of Andover Massachusetts, living in an understated part of the town. I have lived in my current River street home since 1990. I bought the house, even though it had proven termite damage, because I fell in love with this quiet, rural location.

Thank you for posting this information! I live in the O;ympic Village Development off River Street and we are very concerned about this development. It has been excruciating trying to find information about this project and the history behing it.
Please feel free to e-mail me.

I saw the 40B article in the Townsman and sympathize with your group. I was the Neighborhood Representative on the Northfield Commons 40B project that was just approved in June. I went to and spoke out at every Town Hearing. I am familiar with the process and may be able to help by informing you of what our group went through. I don’t quite know how to set up a wordpress acct or balardvale.net acct to add posts but I don’t mind communicating by email.
It appears your group has researched the issues and may not need any help but if someone wants to have a cup of coffee and talk for 20 minutes or so I’d be glad to share my thoughts. You can contact me at gerrycaruso@mac .com I live on Somerset Dr. (off North St.) but am in downtown Andover quite frequently.

Thanks for your input, Gerry. We will accept any tips or suggestions we can get.
If you wish a ballardvale.net account, I can give you one. Just give me the name you would like ( i.e. gerrycaruso@ballardvale.net ) If you want to post, just create a WordPress acct. at WordPress.com. I can then add youl to this blog as a contributor. It’s easy. If you want to just correspond via e-mail, that’s ok too. Feel free to add anything you want to any of the comment sections on any article or page.
