Westport P&Z Commission Changes Meeting Times
The commission is looking to improve opportunities for public participation, and ensure more focused and productive discussions.
WESTPORT, CT — In an effort to improve public participation and discussions, the Westport Planning and Zoning Commission will begin its Monday meetings at 6 p.m., instead of 7 p.m., effective immediately, Planning and Zoning Director Mary Young announced.
"After many late night meetings, the Commission decided to start the meetings one-hour earlier with the hope of completing our meetings earlier," said Commission Chair Paul Lebowitz about the reasoning for the change. "Our goal is to allow for more convenient opportunities for public participation and also ensure a more focused and productive discussion between the applicants and Commission members."
The commission's next meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on June 3. The meeting will be held virtually via Zoom, will be livestreamed on the town’s website at www.westportct.gov, and/or accessible on Optimum Government Access Channel 79 and Frontier Channel 6020.
