In the Planning Board race, Washington Street resident Leonard Engle and Winthrop Street resident Robert Shore will face off for one open seat on the board. Engle originally took out nomination papers for seats on both the Planning Board and Finance Committee when both races were uncontested, but settled on the Planning Board when both races filled up. He has lived in the town for the past three years and hopes to ensure that Holliston keeps the quaint New England atmosphere that he said brought him here in the first place. Engle is an attorney and also works in a prison mediation program handling complaints from jailed inmates. Shore is a seven-year resident and also moved to Holliston because of the town s character.
Shore works as a computer software systems integration expert.
