Ayer Planning Board continues major hearings, begins Master Plan overhaul.

Engineer Limhuot Tiv and owner Mark Gallagher Sr. presented revised plans for the former fire station conversion; vandalism including copper theft and cupola damage may require further adjustments, with a response letter promised within days.
