Fitchburg Planning Board unanimously approved site plan modifications for the Amazon distribution facility at 135 Intervale Road. The board authorized two accessory buildings and required the applicant to fund $315,000 toward Intervale Road improvements, including traffic safety measures at the railroad bridge underpass after members raised sight-distance concerns. Board members agreed to allow vehicle maintenance limited to delivery vehicles used in site operations.
In separate unanimous votes, the board recommended three zoning amendments to City Council: extending marijuana establishment hours from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., authorizing delivery couriers and operators in industrial zones subject to special permits, and updating site plan procedures and permit timelines. Paula Caron and Paul Fontaine, Jr. were unanimously re-elected as Chair and Vice Chair for 2026.
