Tewksbury is not the project’s permitting authority but will participate in the state review as an intervening party and submit questions on stormwater, noise, fire safety, and environmental concerns by February 6, 2026. The agreement includes 24/7 facility monitoring, emergency notification procedures, a $50,000 fund for nearby property owners who believe their property values are harmed, and other negotiated conditions. No final project approval was made at this meeting; the review process was expected to continue through spring 2026.
