Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The Cascade Street group home proposal cannot proceed under the Commission’s wetlands review because the application did not provide enough information for a decision. The Commission approved Parker Pond dredging with controls intended to limit downstream sediment, along with septic work on Hubbard Avenue and East Alford Street. A drainage-improvement proposal on Cobblestone Cove was postponed until the February meeting.
