The Select Board supported several 2026 Annual Town Meeting articles, including Other Post-Employment Benefits funding, vehicle and equipment sales, a Special Education reserve fund, and changes to Planning Board appeals. It rejected a proposed increase to the Route 20 West multifamily housing sub-district dimensions by a 2-3 vote and declined six Sherman’s Bridge-related articles by unanimous 0-5 votes. The Board postponed action on the long-term water supply construction-funding article after noting a substantial cost change and an open appeal.
