The
Concord Villages
Planning and Overlay Zoning Study has a Steering
Committee and three Village Task Force Committees. The Planning Board
is the originator of this project and is responsible for its progress, and
ultimately the creation of any new bylaws and/or modifications. Several
Selectmen join the Steering Committee. Several of the Steering Committee
members are also working on a village Task Force.
