Longer-form draft.
During the May 1 Planning Board meeting, the conversation shifted toward the fundamental effectiveness of our current leadership regarding environmental and housing policy. A candidate for a 5-year term on the Board delivered a platform that directly challenged the status quo. The core criticism: while the Board may speak eloquently in defense of nature, they have failed to take the decisive action necessary to protect Plymouth's green spaces and water quality from harmful development. The candidate also proposed two specific policy shifts to protect local control: reaching a 10% affordable housing target to insulate the town from state-mandated 40B developments, and requiring 'green corridors' in new construction. As residents, we need to look past the rhetoric. We must ask whether our Planning Board is setting actionable goals to protect our environment and our ability to manage our own growth, or if they are simply reacting to development after the damage is done. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/planning-board/2026-05-01/ #MeetingWatch #PlymouthMA
