Norwood Conservation Commission continues three hearings, appoints treasurer; minutes approved
Summary
At its Feb. 12 meeting the Norwood Conservation Commission voted to continue three public hearings to later dates, unanimously appointed Anil Prasad as treasurer, approved minutes from Jan. 8 and adjourned. Commission staff and applicants were given follow-up tasks.
The Norwood Conservation Commission at its Feb. 12 meeting voted to continue three public hearings, appointed a treasurer and approved minutes from Jan. 8, 2025.
The commission voted to continue public hearings on the Winter Street solar photovoltaic proposal (DEP file 251-0568), an unspecified request for determination of applicability and a notice of intent for 61 Endicott Street (DEP file 251-0560). The panel also unanimously appointed Commissioner Anil Prasad as the conservation commission treasurer, approved the Jan. 8 meeting minutes and adjourned.
Why it matters: The continuations keep permit applications under commission review while applicants provide additional materials; the treasurer appointment restarts a financial oversight role the commission said it wants active for quarterly reporting and fee-schedule analysis.
