FM #899 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 899 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares the audio recording of the Economic Development Subcommittee & Steering Committee meeting held on Wednesday, December 14, 2022 in the Council Chambers with all 7 members participating in person in the Council Chambers.
“Franklin For All” Steering Committee (or EDC Plus)
Chair Melanie Hamblen, Glenn Jones, Cobi Frongillo, Pat Sheridan (Town Council)
Greg Rondeau, Beth Wierling (Planning Board)
Bruce Hunchard (Zoning Board of Appeals)
Quick recap:
As best summarized by member (& ZBA Chair) Bruce Hunchard, basically you (the Town) is better off waiting for a developer to come forward and work together on a 40R than to create a 40R district or overlay zone. Or do like Shrewsbury did, solicit proposals for 40R and pick a developer to work with on a specific proposal. This effectively restates what Mark Bobrowski discussed during his presentation.
The recording of the meeting runs 58 minutes.
