What happened

The committee approved corrected Oct. 1 and Oct. 15 minutes on five ayes each. It took no vote on zoning or the Route 2 access, and MassDOT's interchange report slipped to the end of October, with MassDOT then having 60 days to decide. Members heard the right-turn-out appears just west of the warden's house, pending Stantec confirmation, and that draft zoning with four open placeholders is due out by Nov. 3 or 4.

Key decisions
