Select Board appoints Tom Murphy to planning board through May 2026
Summary
The Foxborough Select Board unanimously approved the joint appointment of Tom Murphy to the planning board to fill a vacancy caused by a member’s relocation; Murphy, an associate member for several years and current EDC chair, will run for election at the next cycle.
The Foxborough Select Board voted to appoint Tom Murphy to the town planning board for a term ending May 3, 2026, filling a vacancy after a member moved out of town.
The appointment was presented as a routine promotion: planning-board members told the Select Board that Murphy, who has served for several years as an associate member and also chairs the Economic Development Committee, was unanimously recommended at the planning board’s prior meeting. "I appreciate the opportunity. I've been doing it for a few years now," Murphy said.
Board members moved and seconded the joint appointment and recorded a roll-call vote with Mark, Stephanie, Bill, Amy and Debbie voting in favor. The board noted the vacancy will open an associate-member seat for public applications; the newly appointed member must run in the next election to retain the seat.
The action concluded a short procedural exchange; the board then continued with other routine agenda items.
