Meeting dates.  Meeting dates are subject to change.  Contact the Planning and Zoning office about meetings.

There will be a quorum of Board members in person in the Council Chambers.  The Town will continue to offer, when available, a Zoom video chat program to participate in the meeting. While we endeavor to offer these technologies as a convenience, we cannot guarantee they will be available for a given meeting.  As such, residents who want to ensure they will be able to provide feedback during public hearings or at public meetings should plan to attend said meetings in-person.
