[MassHistPres] COVID-19 Order No. 42, re extended Permitting Deadlines

[Dennis De Witt]

I have just become aware of an emergency powers act that would appear to give local Commissions the right to delay decisions, possibly including demo related (and one wonders 40B related?) until 45 days after the end of the Covid emergency.

See

I am wondering if any Commissions have invoked it or consulted with the office of their Town Counsel or city equivalent about it?
