On March 19, 2026, the Springfield Planning Board elected Tanner Jacques as Chair and Steve Dzubak as Vice Chair. The board also reviewed a Clean Energy NH solar ordinance template and assigned Dzubak to draft an acreage-based zoning amendment for larger projects for the April meeting. Separately, Upper Valley LSRPC proposed Springfield as a pilot community for family-based childcare regulatory review. The board accepted the concept without a vote. The board approved a single-family driveway application for 151 Woodland Heights with post-construction review requirements but clarified the approval does not permit a private road or further subdivision. All formal votes were unanimous except one abstention on prior minutes.
