Protecting Ashby's Rural Character with Natural Resource Protection Zoning, Presentation and Q&A, 10/27/2021 at 7pm

 


On Wednesday, October 27 at 7:00 the Planning Board invites you to join a public conversation on Natural Resource Protection Zoning.

Jeff Lacy, of Rural Planning Associates, will hold a presentation followed by a Q&A with Planning Board members. Jeff has been consulting with the Planning Board on reworking the NRPZ that was withdrawn at the Annual Town Meeting last May.

Natural Resource Protection Zoning replaces our current Open Space Residential Development bylaw and is intended to protect the rural character of Ashby, even as it grows. It can help large land owners realize income from their land while still preserving 80% in its current use.

There will be ample time for questions. We encourage you to check out the details on NRPZ.

We hope to see you there!
