[Massplanners] Postcards for Public Hearing Notices

[Lauren Vivier]

Hello,

Spencer would be interested in seeing an example of the postcard. I'm also curious how it is saving money from traditional certified mail.

Hi Planners ? do any municipalities out there use postcards, rather than mailed letters, to notify abutters of Public Hearings?







I assume it is permissible under MGL.







I?m looking for ways to reduce our admin and mailing costs (and keep permit fees reasonable).







Thank you,



Chris
