Planning Board: September 23, 2026

The Chelmsford Planning Board held a meeting on September 23, 2026, primarily addressing zoning and land use matters. A key procurement-related discussion involved a potential grant to support a managed growth strategy, including a real estate market study and modeling software, with an estimated budget near $200,000. The board discussed funding sources such as local funds, Community Preservation Committee (CPC) allocations, and potential state grants covering half the cost. They planned to seek direction from the Select Board on proceeding with funding and technical support. Additionally, the board approved an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan for 19 Mit Street to preserve zoning rights without creating new lots or development. Other agenda items included updates on zoning articles, upcoming public hearings, and community development initiatives, but no contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting.
