Letter to the editor: MassDEP accepts appeal regarding Lexington High School construction on wetlands

“The appeal claims that the town did not consider alternatives to building on bordering vegetative wetland (BVWs), as required by state law. If there were no feasible way to accomplish this, it would have been frivolous to file the appeal, but there are feasible ways, that can serve the town better than the current design.”
