What does an abutters notification mean?
The abutters notification is required under the state and local wetlands laws to allow neighbors to comment on projects which may impact them. Information about the project (including the application and plan(s) of proposed work) may be viewed during regular business hours at the Town Clerks Office (1st floor of the Rockport Town Hall 34 Broadway) and at the Conservation Commission Office (basement level of Rockport Town Hall). Attending the public hearing for the project and speaking during the public comment section is the best way to make your concerns known to the Conservation Commission. If you are unable to attend the hearing, written comments may be sent to the Commission (via mail at 34 Broadway, fax 978-546-3562 or by emailing the Conservation Agent at GFalco@town.Rockport.ma.us). Your comments, if sent in time for the meeting will likely be read at the hearing, but whenever sent will be made part of the record.
