Here are two consultants that provide this service.  Westborough is actively searching for a new Town Planner as well, but we were able to get Jim Robbins back as our temporary planner, so I do not have experience with either.

Adam,
Like Laura, I am presently serving as interim town planner in Manchester, Ma. It is a good way for Laura and I to use our planning skill sets, particularly with so many planner jobs out there. I just signed another six months contract with the town, however the retirement system puts a cap on the number of hours and how much money one can make after retirement.
I'm sure that there are retired planners who would be interested in the work.

Best of luck,

Betsy Ware

On Nantucket, bumper sticker riles affordable housing proponents

https://www.boston.com/news/real-estate/2023/05/01/nantucket-bumper-sticker-riles-affordable-housing-proponents/

Meanwhile on Cape Cod there is a group promoting "We're Full" bumper stickers; suggesting a county-wide housing moratoria AND suing the state to block Chapter 40B implementation.

I will refrain from my commentary for now...

Hello all,
   I am looking at several different options for recording services for meeting minutes. Does anyone use a company/firm they would recommend? We are looking to potentially use funds to hire a person or a firm to handle several of the Board/Committee meetings here in Town. Thanks all!!
