Town Council Schedules Public Hearing on Villages Multi Family Development for September 3

Residents voiced safety concerns during the Planning Board Meeting in Charlton, Worcester County, on August 13, 2025, particularly regarding a dangerous curve on L Stevens Road. One local resident highlighted the issue, stating, "People come flying around that corner," which has led to near-collisions. The resident urged the board to investigate the situation to enhance road safety.

The meeting also included discussions about upcoming sessions, with the next scheduled for September 3, where the board will continue deliberations on the Villages multi-family project at 35 North Main Street. A motion to continue the public hearing for this project was unanimously approved.

Additionally, J. Jill Development LLC requested an extension for the definitive subdivision approval for Rockaway Village Trust, pushing the deadline to August 23, 2026. This project involves duplexes and single-family homes off Center Depot Road, which remains active.

The board's focus on these issues underscores the community's commitment to safety and development, with further discussions anticipated in the coming meetings.
