Andover's Boards & Committees: The Design Review Board

The purpose of the Design Review Board is to advise applicants for projects involving new construction, exterior alterations and large signage in the General Business and Mixed Use Districts, and to review all new municipal structures and signage. And, at the discretion of the Planning Board, the DRB shall also review applications for special permits in the ID2 district as well as major non-residential projects in LS, OP, and IG districts.

But how does it work?  Who is the DRB? What are they working on now?  Come to the meeting and find out!
