Tewksbury Zoning Bylaw Committee Recommends Withdrawal Of Articles 27 And 28 For Annual Town Meeting

Press release from the Town of Tewksbury:

June 22, 2020

At its' June 22, 2020 meeting, the Zoning Bylaw Committee voted unanimously to recommend withdrawal of Articles 27 and 28 for the 2020 Annual Town Meeting due to COVID-19 health concerns.

The Committee has spent over three years, 35 committee meetings, and seven public presentations in an effort to update the Town of Tewksbury’s Zoning Bylaw. While the Committee believes that a number of issues in the current bylaw would be addressed through this revision, it felt that the overriding concerns expressed by residents relative to the pandemic were enough to postpone a vote until the 2021 Annual Town Meeting.

A formal motion to withdraw the articles will be submitted by the Committee at the continued Annual Town Meeting on June 24, 2020.
