If there are issues that can be addressed that’s great. But if you want wineries and shops and tourists, that’s STR.

STR have been very integral to the expansion of our tourism industry, especially since there are no hotels or motels in Harrow. But maybe it's time to decide how many and needed and where. I'm sure the current owners have invested lots of time, money and energy into making the current STRs welcoming, and I'm sure they are hopeful that this will continue. Maybe some market research is needed to determine our needs in the future.

This a beautiful residential area that families make their homes. This place that you want to put in would be right in the middle of a residential area. There are families that live in that area with children that have special needs that are able to go out and be safe in the area that they live. This would change drastically the parents would have to take drastic measures and change the home environment in order to ensure the safety of their children.

Neighbour’s should have a say in a zoning change. If it affects quality of life, the answer must be NO!

Absolutely !!! Representatives from the Town of Essex are determining the direction they want for our village of Colchester It might be a good idea if they asked the residents who live her what they want or think of the idea of making this a vacation destination. This is our home

It's beneficial for both parties to be regulated. Smaller chance of renting a 'lemon' and better chance of renting to underage party-ers.

Short term rentals have outnumbered available homes for families who want to remain in their home town. Buying a home for for anyone just starting out has become unattainable. We need affordable homes. Not places for party goes who have no regard for what they are doing to our small community!
