South Recent Hampshire Services (SNHS) is requesting a variance to unfastened as well as operate a day care center in Nashua to care for 32 kids from ages 2 to 5. The zoning board already denied a similar proposal from SNHS at the alike address back in 1998 due to traffic, noise as well as community safety. Since then, the area has become more populated, adding to traffic volume as well as community safety issues. Additionally, there is a aligned vertical cliff drop at the rear of the site, with the extreme western edge of the property dropping to the Nashua River 60 feet below – creating a humorless safety issue for curious kids. The area is as well as polluted by a history of asbestos dumping by a former asbestos manufacturing plant – as well as the day care site proposal includes plans to create an outdoor playground. Coal used as railroad fuel was as well as stored at the rear of the site, as well as the waste smokestack of Nashua Foundries is located about 1,000 feet away from the property. A zoning board hearing was scheduled for January 12 to discuss the day care proposal. For the filled story, go to Nashua Telegraph. |
