In 2017 a town plan was developed and then adopted in January 2018 to be the official policy of the community with regard to future growth and
development in Sudbury. We think it is a fascinating read!
Excerpts from the plan:
“The first goal is the development of a community that allows for residential growth which coexists with small businesses and farming while maintaining a rural character. This is achieved with the following specific objectives:
- Maintain the ten acre zoning
- Identify, protect and preserve historic, cultural and environmental resources
- Support and encourage existing farms which create a rural atmosphere
- Preserve open space
- Encourage small business development and the creation of a village center”
…
“The Sudbury Town Clerk’s office was opened on September 26, 1975. The previous office was in the home of Harold and Stella Selleck. Research shows
that Sudbury has had a post office in at least three locations, a library in at least two locations, two or three physicians, and several boarding houses as
well as Hyde Manor Hotel and the Sudbury Inn. Town organizations which have existed include, the Elizabeth Pool P.T.A., changed to P.T.O. and finally
disbanded; the Bicentennial Committee (1973) changed to Community Club (1977), changed to Friends of the School (1981); Ladies’ Aid; Ladies’ Circle; Grange Historical Society; Recycling Project; and the Sudbury newspaper.
Sudbury has had its share of special functions from card and Bingo Parties to aid the earlier schools, to Ladies’ Aid Bazaar and Food Sales, Ice Cream Socials, Spaghetti Suppers, and the Annual Road Race, started in 1982.”
