Planning Board - June 15th, 2026 | Westford, MA

The Westford Planning Board meeting held on June 15, 2026, focused primarily on land use and development issues, including signage permits, subdivision approvals, and amendments to development agreements. Key procurement-related discussions included a special permit application for additional signage at 174 Wilton Road, which was continued to allow further discussion with the landlord due to concerns about compliance with a comprehensive sign permit. The board reviewed and approved covenants and plans for subdivisions, including PB260435 West Prescott Street and PB2536 79 Powers Road, with conditions addressing stormwater management, fencing, and trash collection areas. An amendment to the development agreement for Tech Park West was approved to accelerate payment schedules, increasing the town's spending power. The board also scheduled upcoming public hearings for zoning bylaw amendments related to battery energy storage and solar energy use, aiming for adoption by a special town meeting in the fall. Several technical and procedural clarifications were made regarding waivers, drainage, and plan endorsements. Motions to approve plans, continue hearings, and amend agreements were passed during the meeting.
