This Week in Woodbridge

As December continues and we wind ever closer to year’s end, Woodbridge enters a familiar period of transition from outgoing to incoming boards and commissions. With some matters wrapped up and others left for January, this week’s coverage reflects that in-between moment, as outgoing boards conclude their work and unresolved issues emerge for newly constituted bodies to take up.

This dynamic is evident in our summary of the Board of Selectmen’s final meeting of the term, which combined routine year-end business with governance questions that will carry forward. It’s also visible in recent notices from the Town Plan and Zoning Commission, which point to continued activity around major development and zoning matters — including a special meeting later this week and a public hearing scheduled for early January.

Together, these items underscore how decisions made — and deferred — at the end of the year shape the agenda awaiting boards and commissions in the weeks ahead. And as always, the Woodbridge Town Chronicle will continue to keep you informed: Your town, your news, straight to your inbox each Monday.
