and growth within the Town of Shrewsbury. In accordance with the
Zoning Bylaws, Subdivision Regulations, and professional guidance
of various town departments; the Planning Board reviews and approves

The Planning Board consists of five members appointed by the Town
Manager. Regular meetings are held on the first Thursday of each
month and additional meetings are scheduled when needed. The Planning
Board is
required to make recommendations on all zoning amendments and has
