Gloucester has now resumed public hearings for special permits. This comes after the city council had delayed public hearings and site visits until after the state of emergency in April.
The hearings will be held online and the site visits will be done in-person. Gloucester has successfully held other online hearings including those through the Planning Board and Conservation Commission. It is reported that public attendance has increased in some ways for those meetings.
The City Council will proceed with online public hearings and in-person site visits beginning with those who were already in queue prior to the stoppage in April.
