Planning Board

The Planning Board is the custodian of the Town’s Zoning By-laws; reviews and acts on Site Plan and Subdivision Reviews/Approvals; prepares the Town Master Plan; and often is a Special Permit Granting Authority (SPGA) for development-related applications. The Board's authority comes from Massachusetts General Law and the Town's Zoning By-laws. Members are appointed by the Select Board.

We encourage citizens of the town to to attend our meetings and public hearings. The input from citizens is recognized and greatly appreciated.
