Volunteer Spotlight: Planning Board

Committee of the Year
Posted on: December 19, 2016 - 9:46am

"Prevention is seldom recognized or appreciated. The Planning Board has served at the frontlines in Gray, balancing protection of health and safety, landowner rights, and responsible growth.  They put in countless hours at a job that is not easy. I did not know we were suppose provide a quote for this evening but I pick Churchill, it fits Planning Members: 'All I have to offer is Blood, Sweat, Toil and Tears!'"

~ Councilor Jason Wilson
Presenter, Committee of the Year Award

Kathy Tombarelli, Town Planner, describes the Gray Planning Board as "supportive, diligent, prepared, and willing to do additional workshops and special meetings to get through the various applications, zoning changes, and other business items.  The diversity of backgrounds and experience that each member brings to the process, along with a great mix of 'long-term' and 'newer' board members brings a great deal of depth to the process."  

The Town of Gray thanks our Planning Board members: Don Hutchings, Chair; Dan Cobb, Vice Chair; Charlie Abrams; Richard Bibber; Adam Szafran; Paul Myer (Alt); and Rachel Lyn Rumson (Alt).
