Amesbury planning committee sends Elm Street transfer to full council. The Planning and Development Committee voted unanimously to advance 2024-164, an order rescinding Bill 2019-042 and formally accepting a portion of Elm Street as a city public way, following a year-long state-initiated adjustment delayed by turnover in the Department of Public Works.
