Development News from the latest meeting
Select Board 7/20/26
Published: Jul 20, 2026
Committee to Evaluate Landfill Closure Options and Future Waste Management
The board authorized the town administrator to establish a review group or committee, in collaboration with the Board of Health, to evaluate landfill closure options and develop recommendations. This proactive step is being taken because the landfill has an estimated 7-year lifespan remaining, and closure procedures take 3-4 years. The committee will address both the logistical closure process and alternative waste management strategies for the town, acknowledging that changes to the current system are inevitable.
Townwide Pavement Preservation Project Contract Awarded to Seal Coating Inc.
The board discussed a town-wide pavement preservation project and authorized the town administrator to sign a contract with Seal Coating Inc. DBA Indis for the work. The project will be funded from Chapter 90 funds. It was noted that there was only one bidder for this specialized project, which is typical for certain project sizes and types.
Iron Club LLC Approved for Beer and Wine License
The Select Board considered an application for a beer and wine beverage license for Iron Club LLC, located at 365 Main Street. The application was approved after a public hearing where no audience members wished to speak. The applicant anticipates opening in September.
Planning Department Position Title Changed to Land Use and Development Coordinator
The Select Board discussed and approved a position title change for Jana in the Planning Department from 'Administrative Assistant' to 'Land Use and Development Coordinator'. This change reflects the evolution of her responsibilities beyond administrative tasks, including training, licensing, and coordinating across land use divisions. The position was graded at a five, and the change is intended to accurately represent the role and its required skill set, without immediate plans to add staff.
Power Home Remodeling Granted Hawker and Peddler License
The board considered and approved a Hawker and Peddler license for Power Home Remodeling staff. The applicants, including Jacob Monfell Con, indicated they have been in business since 1992 and typically receive permits in every town they visit. They plan to operate between 11 AM and 7 PM, Monday through Saturday, and anticipate a short-term presence in Sturbridge, possibly for about a week. The Police Department signed off on the necessary checks.
