Town Council · Meeting of October 29, 2026
PLAINVILLE — The Town Council discussed a compiled list of possible goals, including housing, free cash, ADUs and data centers. Ideas were gathered by email this year and compiled with staff help. One speaker cited the state's new 40Y zoning to encourage starter homes, and another said developers are interested mainly in housing.
Speakers raised ADU complaints about units close to property lines, a pending state proposal to freeze senior property taxes, and three data center approaches: zoning first, blocking, or a moratorium. A speaker said they would consolidate the notes and return with recommended goals, and no votes were recorded.
