Gardner MA Zoning Board of Appeals Has Lengthy Meeting with Detailed Presentation for Matthews Road Project
While not the only item on the agenda, it was the most dynamic. Timothy Slocum has a location at 400 Matthews Road in Gardner and has been in front of the Gardner Zoning Board of Appeals on several occasions, most recently on January 23, 2024. He was represented by an attorney familiar with zoning matters who gave a complete presentation of the amended Project Design. Listen to the entire meeting on any device, CLICK PLAY.
Keep in mind that Zoning decisions must be unanimous on the part of the Board. Timothy Slocum had 1 denial and 1 approval in an appearance before the Zoning Board of Appeals related to the property at 400 Matthews Road. The Warehouse and storage facilities item was not approved on a vote of 1-2 as unanimous consent of the entire board is required. The 2nd item: converting, fabricating, altering, finishing, and assembling was approved. It was unclear how the 2 different decisions affect the project.
Gardner Magazine spoke with Timothy Slocum and it was apparent he still has the energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to see the project through in a positive fashion. We are hoping to do a complete interview sometime soon. At the meeting, both of Timothy’s parents spoke positively on his behalf, sharing their pride in their son’s work ethic and accomplishments.
