2022 Public Forum

Summary

This Economic Development Summit was formatted as a neighborhood public forum to review the 2019 design concepts for the area between the MBTA train tracks and Ash Street. The Town reengaged the Ash Street neighborhood and commercial property owners within "The Yard" to hear feedback and preferences. Topics of discussion include: land use, open space, mobility, and placemaking. This community planning initiative is to help the Town continue to be proactively ready for any future economic development opportunities in this area per the Town's Economic Development Action Plan.
