Planning Board - Oct 26, 2026
The town is drafting zoning rules for battery energy storage systems — the same tech people put in garages for electric cars, plus larger commercial installations. Key questions include setbacks, parcel siting, and whether small sites should be accessory uses or separate lots. It'll come to the Planning Board for comment before adoption.
