Administrative decision regarding signing authority
The Planning Board has authorized the Chair, Vice Chair, Clerk, and Town Planner to sign legal documents and subdivision plans on the Board's behalf.

Longer-form draft.
At the May 26 Planning Board meeting, two significant land-use items were addressed that residents should be aware of. First, the Board approved an amended site plan for the expansion of the solar array and the installation of a 20 MWh battery storage system at 755 Walden Street. This is a major utility-scale project that will impact the town's energy grid management and local land use. The applicant must still obtain MassDEP approval and coordinate with the engineering division. Second, the renovation proposal for 166 Commonwealth Avenue (Concord Country Store) remains unresolved. Due to concerns regarding stormwater drainage within the flood plane and traffic safety issues for large delivery trucks near Kennebebun Dunk Square, the Board opted not to issue a final recommendation. Instead, they have scheduled a special Zoom meeting for June 9th at 8:00 a.m. to review a draft recommendation letter containing specific conditions to mitigate these risks. As these projects move forward, residents should continue to monitor the Planning Board's decisions regarding our town's infrastructure and environmental protections. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/concord/planning-board/2026-05-26/ #MeetingWatch #ConcordMA
