Tewksbury is not the permitting authority for the proposed facility but will participate in the state review as an intervening party. The town plans to submit questions by February 6, 2026, with expert input on stormwater, noise, fire safety, and environmental concerns. The agreement includes 24/7 facility monitoring, emergency-response provisions, and a process expected to continue through spring 2026.
