SHREWSBURY, MA — Shrewsbury is looking for two residents to help guide future development and land use decisions in town.
The Town of Shrewsbury is seeking applicants for two Planning Board openings: one regular member seat with a five-year term expiring June 30, 2031, and one alternate member seat with a one-year term expiring June 30, 2027.

The town said members will also assist with Shrewsbury’s master plan update, which will help shape the town’s land use vision for the next 10 to 20 years.
The Planning Board has five members appointed by the town manager and generally meets on the first Thursday of each month, with additional meetings scheduled as needed.
Interested residents should submit a letter of interest and resume through the town’s online application form. Questions can be directed to the Office of the Select Board and Town Manager at 508-841-8508 or .
