We would like to express our support for Erin McBee as candidate for the Harvard Select Board.
Erin has proven her dedication to maintaining and improving Harvard’s culture and development through years of volunteering for various boards and activities. She brings experience in navigating town committees and addressing planning challenges.
We all want our town to retain its rural charm—that’s hardly a matter for debate. What Erin understands is that it will take a combination of protection of agricultural land and open spaces and careful planning for disciplined, impactful, and vibrant growth in line with the town’s rural character in order to maintain that character moving forward. Rather than looking to the past of how things have always been, she is looking to the future of how things can be better. Her voice and experience are vital for the challenges we face, and she has our vote.
