  • Assists the Planning Board in the development and implementation of long-range and current plans. 

  • Works with outside agencies to prepare and maintain long-range and current plans.

  • Technical Review Coordinator for all large projects and subdivisions.

  • Staff liaison to the Town Council, Planning Board, Historic Preservation Commission, Zoning Board of Adjustment, Tree Board and Historic Downtown Main Street Committee.
