The board discussed property tax delinquency recovery through the Treasurer's tax title process and multiple land use priorities: a tree preservation bylaw, data center regulations, drone delivery oversight, and community impact fees for short-term rentals.
The board requested a meeting with Amazon regarding drone operations from their Westborough facility.
