During the Danvers Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) meeting on June 8, 2026, the Board opened the floor for public testimony regarding the properties located at 154 and 170 Water Street.
This session included input from local residents, including Bill Bradstreet of Precinct One. The invitation for public comment suggests that these properties are currently under scrutiny, likely due to potential development or upcoming zoning requests that could impact the surrounding neighborhood.
While the meeting allowed for resident testimony, the specific details regarding the nature of the requests for Water Street remain a point of interest for the community. We are tracking these developments to ensure that any changes to our local zoning are handled with full transparency and based on the evidence presented.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor how the Board addresses resident concerns regarding these specific sites.
