The mission of the Town of Westford GIS Department is to promote, and develop a geographic information system resource for local decision makers and the general public.
The Highway Department services nearly 175 miles of roads, doing resurfacing, road improvements, and snow removal. The department is also responsible for care of the common grounds around municipal buildings except the schools.
The Planning Board has 2 functions as defined by Massachusetts law: to establish planning goals and to prepare plans to implement those goals, which take the form of the town's zoning bylaws; and to administer the Subdivision Control Law which establishes the process for development of new roads and new housing.
