🚨 FRAUD ALERT: Fake Application Fee Requests 🚨

The Town of Concord has received reports of fraudulent emails and texts targeting individuals with active applications before the Planning Board, Board of Appeals, and Historic Districts Commission, asking for additional application fee payments.

Please note the following important facts:

🛑 We never text: Town staff do not correspond with applicants via text message.

💳 No online fee invoices: The Town of Concord Planning Division does not send invoices for application fees. All legitimate fees are paid in person when the application is submitted.

📧 Check the email domain: Any official correspondence from town staff will always come from an email address ending in .gov.

If you have received a suspicious message or have questions regarding your application fees, please contact the Planning Division directly at (978) 318-3290 or via email at [email protected]. Please share to help keep our community safe!

Fall leaves are beautiful—until they clog storm drains! When leaves pile up in the road, they block drainage
and release nutrients into the water that can harm local ecosystems. Please help us to keep leave and yard waste out of the street.

What does the Community Development Department do, and how does its work shape everyday life in Concord?

In the latest episode of Civic Concord, we sit down with Community Development Director Alyssa Sandoval to explore how the department coordinates planning, development, public health, building safety, historic and natural resource protection, and other essential services that help shape Concord’s future.

The department brings together four key divisions whose work touches everything from zoning applications to wetlands and long-range planning. In this episode, we hear directly from our division leaders:

Elizabeth Hughes, Town Planner

Kevin Pickering, Building Commissioner

Melanie Dineen, Public Health Director

Delia Kaye, Natural Resources Director

Together, they break down what their teams do, how their work connects, and what residents should know about the services and responsibilities of Community Development.
