Bill > S1083

This bill amends a previous law, specifically Section 1 of chapter 59 of the acts of 2009, to allow the town of Phillipston to appoint members to the Templeton Developmental Center Reuse Committee. Previously, the committee included a representative from the community preservation committee, but this bill adds four representatives from Phillipston: one from its board of selectmen (local elected officials), one from its planning board (responsible for land use and development), one from its Open Space Committee (focused on preserving natural areas), and one from its Fire Department. This change aims to give Phillipston a direct voice in decisions regarding the reuse of the Templeton Developmental Center, a facility likely being repurposed for community benefit.
