On Monday, the Planning Board convenes. Its agenda includes an update from the town planner, requests from the Tewksbury Country Club and the Tewksbury Funeral Home and discussion of significant proposed changes to Sycamore Hall. This colonial-style building sits directly across from Town Hall, on the corner of Pleasant St. and Main St., and is currently used as a multifamily dwelling. The owner is looking to transform the main structure to a mixed-use building, with three residential units and one commercial office unit. If approved, the plan calls for the carriage house at the rear of the home to be demolished and replaced with a new, eight-unit apartment building. The back of the 35,000 sf lot will be paved to accommodate 20-plus parking spaces.
Also on Monday, representatives from a variety of Tewksbury-based nonprofits will talk about their organizations at the library’s virtual Fall Community Roundtable. Residents can learn about volunteer opportunities, programs, services and upcoming events and fundraisers. Register directly on Zoom here.
