DIGHTON — Planning Board continued a solar hearing at 1205 Briggs Street, citing a 99.6-foot setback that violates the 100-foot minimum requirement; property owner Kevin Sousa must submit revised plans before the May 6 continuation date. The board reorganized, electing Jeffrey Carvalho as Chairman, Daniel Higgins as Vice Chairman, Christopher Cunha as Clerk, and Leonard Hull as Stormwater Representative. In related action, the board unanimously approved the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District's Draft 2026 Housing Production Plan, though members expressed concern about survey validity—only 202 responses from over 8,000 residents—and conflicting community positions on housing strategies.
