Planning Board // July 6, 2026

The Marshfield Planning Board held a meeting on July 6, 2026, primarily to discuss a proposed subdivision off Forge Lane. The board reviewed the project against established policy criteria, including the percentage of affordable housing units exceeding 25%, building density, and innovative site design. After discussion, the board voted unanimously not to recommend the project to the selectmen for further consideration by the zoning board, citing that the proposal did not meet the required benefits and raised concerns about density, drainage, traffic, and health and safety. The board also approved the minutes from the June 1, 2026 meeting and discussed the timeline for submitting their recommendation to the selectmen by July 30, 2026.
