Press Release:
Bolton residents are invited to participate in the second (of three) Bolton Village Center Planning Meetings on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 at 7:00 pm at the Bolton Town Hall, 663 Main Street.
One of the goals identified in Bolton's 2006 Master Plan is to develop tools that will guide and control future development in Bolton that benefit or enhance the community and retain the historic village character of Main Street and its small town character.
To help accomplish this goal, the Planning Board has partnered with a team of graduate students from the Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to examine the possible establishment of village center zoning within Bolton.
The Town is interested in studying ideas for small-scale economic development that centers new commercial and residential growth within the existing village center and other already developed areas.  
In conjunction with local residents, this project will determine a logical boundary for a proposed village center zone. Research into other village center bylaws will be another product of this project.
At this public meeting, the students present visual representations of alternative Village Centers.
Your feedback is important regarding the extent of the village center, pathways, transportation and walkability, village character and land use.
We look forward to seeing you at this important meeting.
