All Planning Board meetings are open to the public and we invite you to attend and express your opinions on matters before the board. In addition, many of the matters that come before this board require Public Hearings to solicit the comments of members of the public who may be affected. Please watch for Public Hearing notices in the Worcester Telegram and on this web site.
