Ash Creek Group Presses WRC Over Ash Creek Fill-In
Ash Creek association leaders urge the Water Resources Commission to weigh more than zoning and Julian Construction’s compliance when deciding on a permit to fill part of Ash Creek. They cite protests from boaters, sportsmen, and conservation groups and seek broad consideration of all groups’ interests before a final decision. A delay in serving a warrant for arrest tied to an excavation contractor is also noted, alongside ongoing concerns about unauthorized filling north of the Boston Post Road.
