The Acton Select Board made significant strides in local development during their meeting on September 15, 2025, approving three special permit applications for the Marcus Lewis Racquet Club. The permits will allow the construction of a clubhouse, pickleball enclosure, and tennis court enclosure at 45 Nagog Park.

The board confirmed that they had already made the necessary mandatory findings for the permits, ensuring that the applications adhered to previous discussions. Board member Jim moved to approve the applications, which was seconded and unanimously supported by the board. This decision marks a pivotal step in enhancing recreational facilities in the area, reflecting the community's growing interest in sports and outdoor activities.

In addition to the racquet club permits, the board also approved the appointment of Eric Heals as an associate member of the Transportation Advisory Committee, with his term set to expire on June 30, 2026.

The meeting highlighted the board's commitment to fostering local development while addressing community needs, setting the stage for future discussions, including a more complex topic on fossil fuel regulations scheduled for later in the meeting.
