Updates regarding Fall 2023 Special Town Meeting

The Select Board has set the date/time for fall Special Town Meeting (STM) as Monday, October 23rd at 7pm, to be held in the Annex.  

The Select Board expects to vote to close the STM Warrant at its meeting on Tuesday, September 5th.  Town departments, Boards, Commissions and Committees have been asked to let the Town Clerk's Office, townclerk@wnewbury.org, know what if any proposed articles may be anticipated for the Fall STM.  

The Board has requested that any/all proposed warrant articles be received in the Town Clerks’ Office, townclerk@wnewbury.org, no later than close of business Thursday, August 31st, including any/all relevant backup, so that these materials can be included in the Board’s meeting packet for their meeting on September 5th.
