The Director of Public Services, in cooperation with the Town Engineer, issues permits for and oversees construction of all new roads. Once construction is completed, and the Board of Selectmen vote to adopt a road, it then becomes the responsibility of the Highway Department to maintain it.

Roadcut/Driveway Permits

The Director of Public Services must issue a permit for any work being done within the travel portion of a town road or in the town right-of-way. This includes a new driveway or access way construction, alteration of an existing driveway or access way opening, and roadcuts for utilities installation or drainage.
