CONWAY — At its Oct. 23 meeting, the planning board kicked off discussions of revising the zoning ordinance, and Judi Barrett of Barrett Planning Group in Hingham, Mass., outlined the steps the consulting firm will take to ensure that the ordinance aligns with the town master plan. The revisions are set to be completed by 2027.
The board has been tasked with two projects — updating Conway’s zoning and land use regulations, and preparing a long-term water and wastewater system improvement plan.
