I have several questions before proceeding with filing my application. Who can help?

You may call 978-453-4557 and, if needed, set up an appointment to meet with the Town Planner. If you have any relevant plans to your project bring them with you. The Planner will be happy to answer any of your questions and discuss potential pitfalls or possibilities related to your project. If you would like to meet with several department head in one meeting, please call the Planning Office two to three weeks ahead and schedule a Departmental Staff Review. There is no charge for this service.
