In addition to their role as a permit granting authority, what other functions does the Planning Board perform?

The Planning Board continues to act in an advisory capacity to other Town boards and committees and has Board members serving as representatives of the Planning Board on the following other committees: South Shore Coalition, Community Preservation Committee, Open Space Committee, Housing Partnership, Downtown Task Force, and the Windmill Committee. In addition, the Board and the Town Planner interact with the Town’s business community through the Chamber of Commerce and other community organizations.

Citizens with suggestions for additional questions that should be included here are welcome to email their recommendations to the Town Planner. Individual questions will be responded to individually, and questions of general interest will be included on this site.
