Planning Board extends 128 Washington decision deadline

Planning Board · Meeting of November 4, 2026

Plainville's Planning Board extended the decision deadline on 128 Washington Street after another long hearing. Attorney Bo Akers outlined a 72-unit hotel allowed by right and special permits for a 30,000-square-foot warehouse and office building and a mulch-processing area, while the applicant's team said the colorant is a category 4 substance. Board of Health Director Deborah Bell said she was "really impressed" with the board's review of noise and groundwater.

Brookside Village residents pressed for firm hours, and Select Board member Jeff Johnson backed real-time noise monitoring. The board earlier approved a Brookside driveway easement 5-0. The sound peer review remained unfinished.
