Zoning Board of Appeals, 5/15/25

Are you ready for some softball? The Zoning Board of Appeals heard from a softball trainer who sought to open a training facility, complete with batting cages on Brook Road. They also ruled on whether storing a fuel tank above ground or below ground constitutes a major change to plans, and wrapped up the hearing on a proposed new six-apartment building on Chestnut Street.
