TOWN CENTER FORUM -- OCTOBER 22

On June 11, 2008 the Planning Board sponsored a forum regarding the future of the Town Center. The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) assisted by facilitating the forum and presenting images of buildings from other places. Those in attendance then commented on the various designs and voted on which ones they liked and didn't like. More information on the results of this process are available on the Planning Board web site.

On October 22, 2008 the Planning Board held a followup forum. On that night, MAPC staff presented another set of images. These included a review of the results of the June 11 forum as well as pictures of the existing Town Center with some of the favored buildings identified in June superimposed on them in order to illustrate what Sherborn might look like if one or more of the buildings were located here. A pdf version of the MAPC presentation is available on the Planning Board web site. Of course, everyone is invited to provide input on the images and other measures that should be considered as we evaluate steps that might help improve the Town Center.
