At the April 13, 2026, Greenville Conservation Commission meeting, a significant permit review took place regarding Eversource Energy. The Commission examined an Alteration of Terrain Permit for the replacement of 101 power structures and a Dredge & Fill Wetlands Permit application.
After reviewing the provided maps, the Commission determined there were no concerns regarding the Dredge & Fill permit. This project involves substantial utility work that could affect local land and water resources. To maintain ethical standards, Commissioner Marshall Buttrick recused himself from the discussion because he owns property abutting the easements in question.
In addition to the Eversource review, the Commission discussed upcoming trail maintenance and new construction in Potter Woods, the Lamarre property, and the Town Forest. Residents should stay engaged as these infrastructure and land-use decisions move forward in our community.
