Director Ella Wise, newly hired as the City's Planning and Development director, explained the ANR plan satisfies Massachusetts General Law Chapter 41 requirements.
The board devoted substantial time to design review for downtown Greenfield, instructing Director Wise to test potential conditions against the One Main Street site plan and compile zoning recommendations from multiple strategic plans spanning 2014 through 2024.
