Select Board appoints two to Conservation Commission, one to housing corporation and extends open-space terms
Summary
The board appointed Aaron Roth and Laura Connick to four-year terms on the Conservation Commission, unanimously appointed James Taylor to the Mansfield Housing Corporation to an unexpired term, and voted to change Open Space and Recreation Committee terms from one to three years.
The Select Board appointed two residents to the Conservation Commission and confirmed one appointment to the Mansfield Housing Corporation at its Dec. 9 meeting.
Aaron Roth and Laura Connick were nominated, voted on and appointed to four-year terms on the Conservation Commission; the motion to appoint both candidates was made and approved during the meeting. The board also appointed James Taylor to an unexpired term on the Mansfield Housing Corporation that runs through Dec. 31, 2027. Taylor told the board he runs a local real-estate brokerage, manages leasing for about 340 units in Mansfield and Foxborough, and serves as president of the Triton Chamber of Commerce.
Board members praised the field experience and community involvement of the successful candidates and noted other committees have openings for interested residents. The Select Board also voted to change the Open Space and Recreation Committee members— terms from one to three years, with staggered expirations so no more than two seats expire each year; the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: these appointments fill vacancies on boards charged with conservation oversight, housing program input and open-space planning, and the amended committee terms aim to improve continuity for ongoing open-space work.
