Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a further response on September 29, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s September 12th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Durgin may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s September 29th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
