I’m Greg McIntire, Democratic candidate for Alternate on the East Lyme Zoning commission. Our plan is for Niantic to grow smarter, not just bigger. That's something that our Democratic candidate for East Lyme First Selectman Dan Cunningham also believes in.

Dan's leadership approach emphasizes the wise use of existing infrastructure and resources, ensuring Niantic's unique character continues to thrive. Dan wants mixed use where people can live, work and play, all in one area. It not only enhances community connectivity, but also eases the strain on transportation and utilities. By promoting this model, we can preserve what makes Niantic village so beloved. We can also maintain our historical heritage by redeveloping historic buildings rather than simply demolishing them.

Moreover, Dan is a strong advocate for supporting small businesses. They are the lifeblood of our community, and by facilitating their growth, we will invigorate Niantic's economic landscape and foster local entrepreneurship. Electing Dan Cunningham as our First Selectman means choosing a leader who values Niantic's character, understands the potential for growth without sacrificing our identity and works for a prosperous and sustainable future.
