LANESBOROUGH, Mass. – The Zoning Board of Appeals has some new faces.
Last week, the Zoning Board met to restructure its board.
William Matthiesen was elected Chair. He is stepping in following the resignation of Mark Seigars after a heated ZBA meeting in February.
Gwen Miller was welcomed onto the board after being elected from the select board the day before. Chair Deborah Maynard had said she previously worked with Miller on the Planning Board.
"She is a very, very smart woman who is up to date on all the laws and everything else that goes around," Maynard said.
Miller said she wanted to volunteer for the town, but she is no stranger to working with the town. She moved to Lanesborough in 2017 to raise her kids and was recently serving as Chair of the Planning Board.
She has also served on the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission's regional issues committee for the town.
According to her LinkedIn, she has much experience with town planning, recently working with the town of Lenox as their land use director and town planner.
She said she hopes to bring a nice attitude to the board.
"Just an even keel, a polite demeanor and some objectivity."
