Meetings are held the third Thursday of each month, at 7:00 p.m.

Town Council Chambers, Town Hall, 2200 East Main Road.

The Board of Review is responsible for ruling on all building development and changes of use per the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.

NOTE:  From time to time the Board of Review receives correspondence in the form of letters and e-mail from various persons interested in a matter pending before the Board.  At times these communications are voluminous.  Although the Town makes its best effort to see that these communications are brought to the attention of the Board, there is always the possibility that a few of the communications may not reach their intended destination.  You may wish to attend the Board of Review hearing in order to be certain that your views are heard.
