I was elected to the Board of Selectmen on May 9, 2000 with a promise on the issues that were before the Town. I supported the New Elementary School and it is now open. I promised to stabilize the tax rate by attracting new business and improve infrastructure. The tax rate is lower than it was when I was elected to office and new business is relocating to Tyngsboro. The active land bank that I talked about is now one of the most successful programs in Tyngsboro, the Community Preservation Fund. Route 3 expansion is moving ahead of schedule and the work on the Bridge is still actively moving to the permitting stage.

During my three years on the Board of Selectmen, there have been many exciting challenges. Sycamore Networks was scheduled to open a five building campus on Westford Road but the economic spiral changed their plans. We continued to attract new business with the opening of Applewood Plaza, Smoky Bones, Carrabbas, Progress Ave. Industrial Park and others. This Board of Selectmen is aggressively talking with more businesses that want to relocate to Tyngsboro. I'm very excited in Tyngsboro's future business growth.

The Matthew's Adult Entertainment lawsuit received a lot of negative publicity but the townspeople ultimately prevailed. I'm proud of my leadership role during this period and I totally supported the court case as mandated by the town residents!

My three-year record has been one of many accomplish ments and I invite you to visit my proven record page. The Community Preservation Act, Greene Property Purchase, New Elementary School opening, Chapter 40B Affordable Housing initiative, Master Plan Update, and a Unified Board Of Selectmen being named "The Municipal Board of The Year", are my proudest accomplishments. I salute Selectmen Lampron, Hackett, Lemoine and Nicosia for supporting me in making this happen. Tyngsboro has the best Board of Selectmen of ALL time!

There is much more to do for Tyngsboro's Future and my work
is not yet done. I respectfully ask for your continued support and
consideration of one of your two votes on Tuesday, May 13, 2003.

Please Re-Elect Kevin V. O'Connor, Selectman

Thank you.
