Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The Walmart sign proposal will receive a more extensive review because of concerns about its size, whether it complies with local bylaws, and possible light pollution. No final approval was issued for the development proposals discussed; the 40 Grove Street and 316 Hartford Avenue hearings were continued to May 14, as were the Hartford Avenue retail and bank proposals, with a decision deadline extension to May 29 for the latter two. The 239 Maple Street modification request was also moved to a May 14 public hearing because it had not been properly advertised.
