Town of Hubbardston staff say Chapter 61A forestry applications are in order for FY26 and FY27
Summary
At a Town of Hubbardston meeting, presenters reported that forestry-related Chapter 61A filings for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 were updated and that income verifications for the FY27 filings are complete; no formal vote on the filings was recorded.
At a Town of Hubbardston meeting, a presenter responsible for chapter filings reported that the town’s fiscal year 2026 Chapter land application for forestry had been updated and that fiscal year 2027 Chapter 61A filings and related income verifications were complete.
The speaker noted that the forestry plan had been redone and the town updated its paperwork accordingly. “They got their forest plan redone, so I updated it,” the speaker said, adding later, “they are all good to go. Thank you. That's it for chapter.” The transcript identifies that one applicant’s name had been corrected (the speaker said she “mistyped Mary's name” and that nothing else changed).
The discussion focused on administrative steps: submitting a final fiscal year 2026 chapter application for forestry, updating the record after the landowner provided a revised forest plan, and verifying income and use for a batch of FY27 Chapter 61A filings (the speaker referred to “61 a's” and said verifications were finished). The transcript does not record a formal vote or a specific approval motion for the filings.
Speakers raised no further substantive questions on the chapter items before moving on to other business. No public comments were recorded on this topic in the provided transcript extract.
The meeting later proceeded to scheduling and other agenda items.
