Select Board · Meeting of April 7, 2026
PLYMOUTH — Select Board unanimously approved a memorial bench for James Joseph Harris and licenses for two events, along with grant authorizations totaling approximately $45,000. Finance Director Lynne Barrett presented a five-year fiscal forecast projecting a $1.4 million deficit in FY28, with board members calling for a summer strategic planning workshop. The Board declined a non-binding ballot question on nuclear energy feasibility at the former Pilgrim station, citing insufficient public education time before May's election.
Selectman Keohan proposed reconstituting a water conservation committee to implement the town's 2022 conservation plan and agreed to draft a scope of work. The Board also deferred voting on a land acknowledgement statement until April 21 for legal review by Town Counsel and approved a compromise allowing one trail through Freedom Memorial Cemetery.
