Chairman Bruce Cote of the Dracut Community Preservation Committee  (CPC) has been voted out of office and replaced with newcomer Rob Sheppard.

The move comes as a great shock to many, as Cote is largely seen as an upstanding member of the community and as an individual who is very knowledgeable about conservation and state laws. Mr. Cote serves on numerous committees in town, including the Dracut Land Trust, and has dedicated his life to public service.

What’s Happening Dracut is waiting for comment from all parties involved, and will provide updates as they become available. Stay tuned to WHD and InsideLowell for the latest information.
