Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The Commission is still reviewing a draft bylaw, so the agreed changes are not final. Proposed revisions would remove some existing definitions and protections, clarify jurisdiction over vernal pools and habitat within 100 feet, and align several provisions with the Wetlands Protection Act. The draft would also exempt certain municipal infrastructure projects from the Act’s performance standards.
