Technical Review Committee
The Technical Review Committee (TRC) reviews and discusses development projects proposals in the City of Amesbury. The committee, comprised of experts from across City departments, will review development proposals and offer their expertise and recommendations. Applicants will be able to utilize that information to create a well-rounded and complete application to send to Planning Board, Conservation Commission, or other relevant boards. The TRC helps promote cross-department collaboration and discussion to ensure that new developments will benefit the City as a whole and fit within the needs of our community.
