Foxborough Planning Board Renews Seven Stadium-Area Parking Permits Ahead of World Cup

FOXBOROUGH -- May 14, 2026, Foxborough Planning Board unanimously renews seven stadium-area temporary parking permits and releases four long-dormant subdivision bond funds. The board approved three-year renewals covering more than 1,100 combined parking spaces at six Washington Street and North Street properties, including a 614-space lot at 105 Washington Street operated by Agnes Corporation DBA America's Best Value Inn and a 25-year-old 123-space lot at 16 Washington Street, all under Zoning Code Chapter 275 Use B-4 with prior conditions attached; a seventh hearing, for 10 Wall Street, was continued to May 28 at 7:10 p.m. after applicant's counsel cited a member absence and a potential recusal conflict. The board also voted to release funds from four 53G escrow accounts, Forest Road subdivision, Foxborough Com Associates, Grove View Estates, and Tree Tech, some open for nearly 40 years and substantially grown with interest. Town Planner Catherine, appearing by video, reported that a Neponset-related overlay district failed at Annual Town Meeting, delaying both a rework of that article and a planned age-restricted housing initiative until at least late winter or spring 2027, and said a data center bylaw is now targeted for fall special town meeting.
