Select Board Delays Circus Permit Pending Safety Plan Details
Select Board · Meeting of May 26, 2026
Plainville Select Board tables approval of Lions Club circus event pending site plan. The board tabled the July 8-9 circus application at its May 26 meeting, citing the need for an updated site and parking plan and clarification of police and fire detail costs; a concurrent World Cup quarterfinal in Foxborough on July 9 would strain public safety resources. The board also reviewed town meeting results, noting passage of infrastructure and water-supply articles but defeat of a senior housing overlay proposal, attributed to poor explanation.
The board is scheduling joint meetings to fill Planning Board, School Committee, and Finance Committee vacancies.
