Support from Across Lexington
I am honored to have the support of so many members of our community who believe in smart, thoughtful planning and inclusive growth for Lexington's future.
Kunal’s key priorities of forward looking town-wide planning, increasing the commercial tax base, and environmental conservation will be an important addition to the Planning Board.
Kunal’s educational and professional background in planning and design on multiple scales will assist the Planning Board to focus on town-wide planning and development opportunities in addition to improving the Board’s site-specific zoning and project development review capabilities that consume much of the Board’s time and energy.
Kunal brings a fresh and innovative perspective to the important roles and responsibilities of the Lexington Planning Board.

Kunal Botla has an extraordinary maturity of character and a sharp intellect that’s always been focused on realistic and creative solutions to difficult problems, particularly in the areas of affordable housing and public transportation.
He’s an excellent listener, tolerant of all points of view, and so energetic that he can readily manage all of the Planning Board’s responsibilities. He accumulates new experiences in his chosen field when and wherever possible, and he’s a very quick study. Kunal will bring a fresh perspective to the Planning Board, one much needed in this time of transition for our town. I support him wholeheartedly and hope that other voters will do the same!
