Acushnet Conservation Commission Considers Holding Conservation Restriction

The Acushnet Conservation Commission, in its recent meeting, discussed a significant proposal from the Buzzards Bay Coalition (BBC) regarding a conservation partnership for a property located on South Main Street. The BBC intends to purchase the property and transform it into a conservation area, which would be accompanied by the removal of existing structures on the site. The Commission supports the initiative and plans to recommend that the Board of Selectmen agree to hold the conservation restriction. This partnership is contingent on acquiring a grant from the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), which mandates that the conservation restriction be held by a municipality or a partner.

Further business included a public hearing regarding Matthew Mora’s proposed gravel driveway construction, which was met with a positive determination by the Commission. Additionally, discussions took place on the ongoing peer review for the Stor More project on Minot Street and considerations for a security account towards plantings and site stabilization related to the Robinson Road solar project. The meeting also noted communications received from various entities such as the Division of Marine Fisheries and NSTAR Electric regarding upcoming activities in the area.
