The City of Watertown Plan Commission held a meeting on July 28, 2025, primarily focused on land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related actions included approval of certified survey maps (CSMs) for various parcels, such as combining lots at 213 South First Street and creating twin home lots at 1220 Wilbur and West Main Street, with conditions like parkland fee payments prior to recording.
