MERRIMAC — The Town of Merrimac is pleased to announce that the Master Plan Working Group has released a master plan draft and is seeking community feedback prior to a Planning Board public hearing on the document in November.
The draft master plan can be viewed here. A hard copy will be available for viewing at Town Hall, Merrimac Public Library, and Merrimac Senior Center.
Residents are being asked to provide their comments on the document before Oct. 11. Comments can be made through an online form available here.
Merrimac’s master plan draft is broken into 10 sections: Visions, Goals and Key Issues; Land Use; Natural and Historic Resource Areas; Open Space and Recreation; Housing; Economic Development; Transportation; and Community Facilities and Services; Implementation Plan; and General Comments.
The Town received a grant to update its Master Plan, which was previously adopted in 2002. The Town formed a Master Plan Working Group, which has been assisted in this effort by members of Barrett Planning Group. The process, which began back in 2023, has engaged residents and business owners in Merrimac via public meetings and a survey. The Working Group has also conducted monthly meetings throughout the process. The Planning Board will review the new plan during a regularly scheduled meeting in November.
Those with questions should contact Alyssa Sexton at 978-346-0525 or asexton@townofmerimac.com.
