ADAMS â The Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved a special permit allowing Cumberland Farms to operate 24 hours a day at the corner of Elm and Commercial streets.
The board imposed conditions on advertising and music broadcast at the fueling pumps â only allowing it from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. â to be sure the noise doesnât bother neighbors overnight.
Board member Nat Karns also asked that more vegetation, of the evergreen variety which keeps its leaves in winter, be installed along the property lines between the store and neighbors to provide a further buffer from light or noise that might get through.

The Board of Selectmen on Wednesday asked Town Administrator Jay Green to continue investigating shifting Town Hall hours to add a half day on Friday. I think you are hearing from us that you are on the right path, Chairwoman Christine Hoyt said. We look forward to hearing back from you. In 2016, Town Hall shifted to a four-day-a-week schedule with extended hours to make up a 35-hour workweek. Aside from the tax rate, this is the No. 1 item I am asked about, Hoyt said. When is Town Hall going back to a five-day workweek? This comes up an awful lot.
