The Land Use Department administers the business of the Town’s land use agencies, including the Architectural Review Board, Conservation Commission, Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission, Historic District Commission, Planning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Zoning Commission.  

The Department coordinates planning, permitting, and implementation of Municipal Improvements proposed by the land use agencies or the Board of Selectmen.  Additionally, the Department coordinates workshops to provide continuing educational opportunities for its “citizen planners” who volunteer so much of their valuable time and expertise as decision-makers in land use matters.
