CONWAY — Phyllis Sherman of Center Conway, Zoning Board of Adjustment alternate and former longtime chair was recognized for her years of service by chair/Conway Selectman John Colbath at the end of the ZBA’s March 16 meeting.
“Phyllis started on the original planning board in the ’70s before zoning was enacted by voters,” he said. “She has been ‘the matriarch for zoning’ ever since. She served as my mentor — I was her vice chair when she stepped down as chair to serve as an alternate a few years ago,” said Colbath after the meeting,
