JACKSON — The Jackson Planning Board will hold a public hearing Thursday on proposed zoning changes that would regulate short-term rentals with the goal of ensuring public safety and providing a mechanism to address potential problem households.
Thursday’s public hearing on the ordinance will be held at 7 p.m. at town offices. If adopted, the proposal would be put on the warrant for town meeting in March.
