It is with great enthusiasm that we, the undersigned, endorse Susan Hall Mygatt to be elected to a seat on the Lincoln Planning Board. We believe her combination of relevant town experience, commitment to balancing town character and growth, and genuine excitement for the role make her uniquely qualified to be an informed, engaged, and effective Planning Board member.
You’ve probably seen Susan around town. She has been an active volunteer in Lincoln for many years, serving in roles including seats on Lincoln’s Zoning Board of Appeal (eight years) and on Lincoln’s Conservation Commission (six years), of which she is currently co-chair. She regularly attends Planning Board meetings and is very familiar with Lincoln’s zoning bylaws, the Planning Board’s regulations, and the issues and requests that the board addresses. She will be a ready-to-go board asset on day one.
As a retired real estate attorney and board member of several nonprofit organizations, Susan brings both attention to detail and great respect for the role of collaboration for the common good. She is comfortable asking difficult questions — always with respect — and is committed to community engagement, timely and open sharing of information, and a clear, transparent public process. This will create a welcoming environment for productive exchanges among and with the Planning Board.
Susan sees an opportunity to value Lincoln’s rural character while respecting the state-wide need for more housing. She believes that the town can find a balance that protects the aspects of Lincoln which we value and at the same time carefully plan for inevitable change. She is a keen listener and believes that open collaboration is a key element to finding and implementing solutions that unite, not divide.
At a time of great change, when we are making decisions about processes and solutions that impact the future of our town, Susan Hall Mygatt is the ideal choice for a seat on the Lincoln Planning Board. Please join us in voting for Susan Hall Mygatt for one of the two seats on the Lincoln Planning Board.
