Our Town First badge: Vote Our Town First, Chase & Guerrieri, Andover Township Committee
The short version

Three promises.
One town.

Here's what changes when Cynthia and Nicole are on the Township Committee.

1

You hear it before they vote

No more finding out from a legal notice or a poorly advertised meeting. Agendas and major projects get explained in plain language, on the platforms you actually use.

"Every major development gets a public discussion before it's decided, not after."Our Town First platform
2

Andover stays Andover

Farms, waterways and open land are why most of us live here. Grow the tax base without selling off what makes this town worth living in.

"Redevelop, capitalize upon and collaborate with what's already built before paving what isn't."Our Town First platform
3

Every dollar, explained

Major contracts reviewed on a schedule. Long-term costs on the table up front. A budget you can read without an accounting degree.

"No new spending without a clear answer to: what does it cost, who pays, and for how long?"Our Town First platform
Strong schools, fewer surprisesA real working relationship between the Committee and school leadership, so township decisions support Andover Regional, not strain it.
A direct line for small businessA Small Business Advisory Committee with real input on the fees and red tape that affect local and home-based businesses.
Why this election matters

A data center.
A ban. A lawsuit.
Now a warehouse?

The biggest land-use fight in Andover this year, in five steps. Every fact below links to the reporting it came from.

  1. 1
    The backstory

    Data centers written into the Route 206 plan

    The Route 206 Redevelopment Plan listed data centers as an allowed use. The developer's interest dates back to 2022.

  2. $
    The pitch

    "$5 million a year for 30 years"

    That's how Mayor Walsh described the data center's potential in PILOT payments (payments in lieu of taxes).

    Source: Township Journal, Jul 28 2026
    ↳ that's $150 million on the table
  3. 2
    May 12 → May 28, 2026

    Reversed in 16 days

    Ordinance 2026-13, banning data centers township-wide, was introduced May 12 and adopted unanimously May 28.

    The developer sues the township

    National Land Developers filed in Superior Court, claiming the ordinance was improperly adopted. The township says it will fight it.

    The landowner's next move: a warehouse

    The property owner says it intends to go ahead with "the warehouse project previously approved by the Land Use Board."

Whatever you think of data centers or warehouses
"Every large-scale project (including PILOT agreements) gets a public cost-benefit hearing before any vote."

That's the Our Town First rule. Decisions this big should be weighed in public, with residents in the room, before anything is signed. Read our take: Not Quite As It's Being Told and How Did We Get Here?
