The meeting opened with comments from two residents. One raised concerns about the proposed location of the tentative dog park, while the other expressed support for the Neighborhood Housing Plan, which will face a townwide referendum in January. Later in the meeting, the Select Board also took a position on the ballot question. Additional discussions included the Town Manager’s recommendations for FY26 capital projects and a report from the Director of Public Works on the department’s plowing plan for the upcoming snow season.
