Annual Town Meeting Results

Annual Town Meeting

The Annual Town Meeting took action on 34 Warrant Articles. In addition to passing a FY2025 Operating Budget, the Town Meeting voted to approve the MBTA Communities Multi-Family Zoning Article, an amended Dog Control Bylaw and did not approve the authorization for the sale of the Hinkley North property. A full listing of all the Town Meeting actions can be found on the 2024 Annual Town Meeting site. 

The bylaw changes will first need to be approved by the Attorney General and review takes approximately ninety (90) days before the new bylaws will become official.
