Amherst Town Meeting managed to muster in a surprisingly easy fashion the difficult two-thirds vote required to pass a zoning bylaw article, creating The Dickinson Historic District in and around the most famous abode in town--the Dickinson Homestead, ancestral home to our beloved reclusive poet Emily Dickinson. ("Miss Emily" to friends, family and close loyal employees.)On another note, Town Meeting passed almost unanimously a resolution calling for the town not to support the Federal Secure Communities Act. (Miss Emily rolled her eyes.)
Too bad this is too late to have stopped the hideous desecration visited upon the Henry Hills House Historic property.
