In spite of the weather hysteria, the Grafton Planning Board held its regular meeting on Monday at 7 pm under the guidance of Planning Board Chairman Tom Withcuskey. There were two new faces at this meeting. Linda Laveway was appointed at the Organizational meeting on January 5 to fill the vacancy caused by Pete Gundrum’s resignation in early June for personal reasons. Allison Kirchner is the new Secretary to the Planning Board, replacing Jessica Crandall, who left in order to concentrate on her job and her academics.
