Maryland Grove subdivision hearing delayed as applicant is unprepared

The Woodstock Planning Board meeting on June 9, 2025, focused on several key updates and decisions impacting the community. Notably, the board announced the continuation of hearings for two significant projects: the subdivision on Maryland Grove and the Mirror Lake project. Both discussions were postponed due to the absence of the applicants, with no specific rescheduled dates provided.

In addition to these project updates, the board approved the minutes from the previous meeting held on May 12, 2025, with unanimous support from members present.

The meeting also highlighted ongoing infrastructure improvements, particularly along Route 3, where drainage systems are being replaced, and sidewalks are being upgraded. Furthermore, the board received confirmation of approvals for the Morris Street waterline project, which is set to commence in late summer to avoid disruptions during peak tourist season.

The board is also in the process of hiring additional personnel to assist with various projects, including wastewater treatment improvements, which are recognized as industry-leading efforts in energy efficiency.

While the Earth Excavation Subcommittee did not meet recently, members expressed interest in upcoming webinars related to environmental protection, indicating a commitment to staying informed on relevant issues.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's focus on community development and infrastructure enhancement, with a clear intention to keep residents informed and engaged in the planning process. The next steps for the postponed projects will be closely monitored as the board aims to provide updates in the coming months.
