News & Announcements

The public meeting for the Fire Study presentation has been postponed. Unfortunately, due to the most recent Nor’easter and the combined uncertainty surrounding a full restoration of both Town and private, residential utilities, the scheduling of all events, has become unpredictable, at best. This storm has also affected our ability to have planned representation by MRI personnel, to help present the study and be available for questions.

The board will continue as planned to partner with MRI and make a final review of the preliminary draft, which will then be submitted for final draft publication and public consumption, on or before the end of April. One or more public hearings are being planned to begin the first week of May, well in advance of Town Meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, June 12, 2024.
