Framingham Planning Board saw very early conceptual drawings of what the owner of the Mount Wayte Plaza hopes to do with his property.
There are few details, no businesses identified and the timeline is still uncertain, but the owner of the Mount Wayte Plaza showed Thursday night very early conceptual drawings of what he foresees the mostly-empty plaza could look like in the future. Waterman Design Associates Senior Project Manager Michael Dryden, in making the presentation to the Framingham Planning Board, said the gas station building would be torn down along with the former Fotomat booth.

The final version of Framingham’s Master Plan outlined a number of steps the town will need to take in order to bring development to various parts of the community.
Framingham Planning Board’s presentation to the Board of Selectmen of the long-anticipated Master Plan essentially outlined what Framingham could look like if the elements of the plan are implemented. “The Planning Board doesn’t see this as an end but a beginning,” said Planning Board Chair Thomas F. Mahoney of the Master Plan presentation that was released at Wednesday night's Selectmen's meeting. By definition a master plan serves as a guide for governmental policy and a blueprint for land use and development. Framingham’s Master Plan describes today’s community and direction for the future. The purpose of the Master Plan is to identify strategies that will let officials implement change with an understanding of the vision. The plan’s …

Retired Framingham State professor and long-time Town Meeting member Ned Price is running a write-in campaign for a seat on the Framingham Planning Board.
I am announcing my candidacy for a seat on the Framingham Planning Board. I am qualified. Every year, except one of the past 24 years, I have served as a Framingham Town Meeting member from Precinct 17 and on Town Meeting's Standing Committee on Planning and Zoning, which works closely with the Planning Board. As a member of P&Z, I gained a good working knowledge of the Framingham Zoning By-Law, and reviewed the many amendments before Town Meeting. In 1994, I also served on the Finance Committee and for 3 years I served as an Associate Member of the Zoning Board of Appeals.

I am a write-in candidate for the open seat on the Framingham Planning Board. The town is at a critical juncture and the road we take will determine the quality of life for Framingham residents for years to come. I believe I can make a strong and positive contribution to that future. As we have recently seen, the Town needs a better balance between our residential and commercial tax bases and the Planning Board holds the critical role of making sure that happens while also preserving the interests and needs of both groups. I understand the issues facing our community. With its present financial outlook, there’s no doubt that Framingham will be dependent on new growth to meet is financial obligations. We need to work to grow our tax base by…

Planning Board member Tom Mahoney is running for re-electon. There are two seats open and he is the only candidate on the ballot; so one write-in candidate will win a seat.
A write-in candidate will win a seat on the Framingham Planning Board in April. The Massachusetts Secretary of State's office agreed with Framingham Assistant Town Clerk Lisa Ferguson that Planning Board member Carol J. Spack can not be on the April 3 election ballot, as she missed the deadline by five minutes. There are two Planning Board seats up this year. Incumbent Thomas F. Mahoney is running for re-election. Any Framingham registered voter may run for a seat on the Planning Board. Ferguson said the next highest vote getter, be it via a sticker or write-in campaign, will win the other Planning Board seat; as long as he or she receives a minimum of 50 votes. Fifty signatures were needed to be placed on the ballot. Framingham Patch …
