“Now it’s onto Lancaster”

Town Meeting may be over, but several key issues that have gripped the town leading up to the process are still going. Residents voted in favor of purchasing a large tract of open space and building a new senior center, but both issues still have to be approved at a special election. And although the supporters of a rifle range off South Meadow Pond Road received a resounding victory, they’re battle isn’t over yet either.

In talking with Bill Connolly after Monday’s Town Meeting Connolly summed up the next step: “Now it’s onto Lancaster.” The residents of Clinton may be behind a shooting range, but the range is still located in Lancaster. And officials there have drawn a line in the sand threatening legal action should the range continue to operate. Who will win? It’s anyone’s guess at this point, but one thing seems certain — lawyers will be involved.
