To the editor:
I am pleased to announce my candidacy for Planning Board in the March 2022 town election.
As I grew up in Lincoln, I witnessed the town’s innovative and thoughtful decision-making as it navigated change while maintaining its unique rural character. I left Lincoln for school and work in 1975 and returned in 2000, happy to see that the town had continued its tradition of carefully managing growth and change.
I served on the Planning Board from 2003–2008 as we shepherded several significant projects towards successful completion: the redevelopment of the Mall at Lincoln Station, the creation of the South Lincoln Overlay District; The Commons senior living community, and Minuteman Commons. Other volunteer positions I have held include School Committee (in Garrison, N.Y.) and the board member of Codman Community Farms.
Today, we are again in a period where we must creatively manage change so the hard work of those who came before us and the values that we all cherish are not lost.
I live on our family farm on Lexington Road. With extended family, we grow hay, sweet corn, and pumpkins and in the spring, we make maple syrup. Professionally, I work at Draper Lab. I am a physicist by training and a farmer at heart.
Again, I would like to offer my service to the town at this exciting and challenging time.
Sincerely,
Ephraim Flint
