Save the Date! – Downtown Zoning Update Public Meeting on May 11th
The 2018 Master Plan outlined numerous strategies for improving the downtown area, including recommending an update to the downtown zoning bylaws. The Downtown Improvement Master Plan, completed in 2021, provided a conceptual vision for improvements to the public space in downtown. The Town has contracted with Innes Associates to update to its downtown zoning. The zoning update process will help create a vision for the types of uses allowed, building sizes, and design of private spaces.
The Town and Innes Associates will be hosting a virtual public meeting on the downtown zoning update on Wednesday, May 11th at 6:30 PM. We want to hear from the public about their experiences with downtown and what they would like to see there. This meeting will provide opportunities for the public to learn more about zoning and provide input on their vision for the future of downtown.

Article 8: Accept donation of land – Academy Road Property
In 2015, through Community Preservation Funding the Town purchased a Conservation Restriction on three parcels from Center Realty Trust, including the parcel next to the First Parish Church. It has been a joint goal of Center Realty Trust and members of the CPC to increase access to the parcel, which is currently inaccessible. CRT has offered to gift the parcel to the Town so that the Town could create the access. At Town Meeting, authority would be granted to the Select Board to accept the donation as long as the two parties agreed on terms.
