Plymouth Select Board 6/24 workshop assigned multiple next steps on zoning reforms for industrial parks and research into new industries. These actions were not listed as agenda items residents could prepare for. #MeetingWatch #PlymouthMA
Specific tasks include: zoning amendments to streamline uses in Camelot and North Plymouth parks, research on data centers/battery storage/blue economy, Cordage Park permitting check, and historical tax-base analysis. Follow-up set for mid-July.
The session focused on moving the commercial tax base from ~17% toward 25% while addressing infrastructure limits. No formal votes except adjournment, but concrete staff assignments were made. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/select-board/2026-06-24/
On June 24 the Select Board held the first of two workshops aimed at a five-year economic development plan. Discussion covered infrastructure constraints, industrial park zoning reforms, housing costs pricing out younger workers, and potential new sectors such as aquaculture and institutional partnerships. The board assigned several follow-up tasks: develop zoning amendments to allow more light industrial uses by site plan review, research data centers and battery storage for possible prohibition, verify Cordage Park waterfront status, and compile historical residential/commercial tax-base percentages. A second session is planned for the week of July 15. These specific action items were not identified on the meeting agenda. Residents interested in zoning changes or the direction of commercial growth should watch for Planning Board review and future postings. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/select-board/2026-06-24/ #MeetingWatch #PlymouthMA
