Lowell Planning Board approves two industrial subdivisions. The board unanimously approved subdivisions of 90 Bolt Street in the Light Industrial district and 2 Tanner Street in the General Industrial district, each split into two lots subject to multiple conditions. The Tanner Street property is located near the Silresim Superfund Site and requires Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection compliance.
