Hampden planning board approves home‑occupation permit for nursing‑agency at 9 Perennial Lane
Summary
The planning board approved a home‑occupation permit allowing a nursing‑recruitment business to operate from 9 Perennial Lane as a virtual, single‑person office; no on‑site employees or signage were authorized.
The Town of Hampden Planning Board on Feb. 12, 2025 approved a home‑occupation permit for a nursing‑agency operator at 9 Perennial Lane. The applicant told the board the business will be run virtually from a home office for recruitment work; no employees will work on‑site and no exterior signage or exterior storage will be used.
The applicant described the business as a virtual placement/recruiting service that will not generate customer traffic or onsite retail activity. The board moved to approve the application; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor.
Why it matters: home‑occupation permits allow residents to operate small businesses from a residence while limiting neighborhood impacts (traffic, signage, noise). In this case the board confirmed the proposed operation conforms to Hampden’s home‑occupation standards by remaining largely virtual and client‑facing activity off‑site.
Next steps The applicant was advised to obtain any required town business certificate from the town clerk after the planning action.
