Agenda: | NOTE: Due to the possibility that the front end of an approaching winter storm produces a burst of snow this evening just before the scheduled start time of tonight's joint meeting between the Planning Board and the Board of Selectmen that will kick off the Town's in-depth analysis of the zoning bylaws (as assisted by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council), the meeting may pivot from having both an in-person attendance option (Town Hall) and a virutual option to ONLY HAVING THE VIRTUAL OPTION. Please stay tuned to the Town website for updates. Virtual participation may be accessed via the link in the meeting posting or directly, via the following link: https://join.freeconferencecall.com/bzubricki
