Framingham loses concrete plant case

FRAMINGHAM – The town says it may fight a judge’s order to permit a concrete batching plant on Old Connecticut Path, a project the town has opposed for a decade.

In a ruling last month, Land Court Judge Keith C. Long vacated the Zoning Board of Appeals’ decision to deny Paulini Loam a special permit to build the facility within a “General Manufacturing” zone at 597 Old Connecticut Path.

While the town opposed the project on the grounds of noise, dust and truck traffic, Long found that Framingham’s zoning bylaw allows for the use “as of right.”

In his July 10 ruling, Long ordered the town to issue Paulini Loam a building permit.
