ALTERNATE MEMBERS NEEDED FOR LAND USE BOARDS

Alternate members are needed for both the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Alternate members stand in to replace a regular member when appointed by the Chair. The availability of alternate members allows a fuller contingent of board members to consider applications before the board when regular members are absent. Serving as an alternate member allows a person to gain experience with the board and evaluate whether they might like to run for election in the future to become a regular board member. If you are interested in becoming an alternate board member please contact the Planning Department at 875-2162.
