At Monday night’s Town Board meeting Oct.6, 2008, a group of people who live on a cul-de-sac spoke out against having a group home on their street. There is little or nothing the Town can do to stop this from happening. The State controls where group homes will be placed.
“We, at the present time, have 50 group homes in Amherst and there have been no complains from people who live around them. They take care of their property and are good neighbors,” said Town Attorney Tom Jones.
Our Town Supervisor said he knows how it feels when you have this kind of people move near you. He said he wrote a strong letter to our State government objecting about this group house on a cul-de-sac. He asked the Town Board to sign it.
