Letter: Worry less about housing, more about school and municipal spending
Your colorful, clever illustration of a densely packed area filled with housing developments can never happen in Tiverton. Tiverton has no sewer and a limited water supply.

Editor's note: The writer is referring to an architectural rendering, shown above, provided to the Town of Tiverton by the developer of the proposed Tiverton Heights development, a planned 275-unit subdivision currently before the Tiverton Planning Board for comprehensive permit review. The drawing was included in an article on the town's issues with the Rhode Island Low and Moderate Income Housing Act published Wednesday, March 12.
