POST OFFICE PLAN OPPONENTS LAUNCH LAWN SIGN CAMPAIGN

New lawn sign campaign
As the Township Committee tonight plans to give further approvals for the developers of the Maplewood Post Office site, and a tax exemption, opponents are pulling out the big guns.

Well, the lawn signs, that is.

Former Mayor Fred Profeta, one of the leaders against the planned retail/housing project, issued this notice and announced a lawn sign campaign.

Calling all Maplewoodians upset by the plans for demolition of the existing post office building and construction of a 50 foot industrial style structure in its place!! Now you can express your opposition to this Township Committee proposal by placing a lawn sign on your property and getting your friends and neighbors to do so too. 

This sign has been designed and paid for by The Village Keepers, Inc., a new New Jersey non-profit dedicated to preserving the charm of Maplewood Village. Dirk Olin is the Chair of this organization. But if you want a sign, you may sign up for it here. Please also provide your address, and I will pass the information on to Dirk and his group. 

Remember how effective the "No Dam" signs were? I expect no less from this "Keep the Village a Village" effort. Please share this message with your friends.
