As many of you are aware, the major engine of Wellington's economy is the unique position Wellington plays in the national and international equestrian community. Whether you work in Wellington or own a business in Wellington, we all benefit from the influx of equestrians and their checkbooks every year from November to April.
In addition to the influx of seasonal visitors, many have now established second homes here, which have helped to raise everyone's real estate values. The impact of the equestrian community is beneficial to all - from A1 Moving and Storage, to Dunkin Donuts to Ultra Cleaners.
When you hear the name Wimbledon, you think of tennis. When you hear Pebble Beach you think of the US Open Golf tournament. Major sporting events bring major economic benefit to their host communities.
Worldwide, when you say Wellington, it is known for its equestrian season.
Well, we need your help to keep this engine running. On this upcoming Tuesday night, the Village Council will vote on whether to approve the once already approved Equestrian Village and Equestrian Master Plan.
This last year saw the new Council "unapprove" the Equestrian Village and Equestrian Master Plan which had been already approved and built. The result of this unprecedented action, over the last year, the Village has spent literally millions of dollars of Wellington tax payer money fighting a battle that never needed to be fought.
This upcoming Tuesday evening at 7 pm, the Village Council will make its final determining vote. The Equestrian Village and Master Plan has already passed and been approved by the Equestrian Preservation Committee and the Planning Zoning and Adjustment Board.
It is crucial that the Wellington residents be heard on this issue. As we hear from you, our members, there is overwhelming support for this to pass.
