The Millis Select Board convened on September 29, 2025, to discuss several community-focused initiatives and updates, highlighting key events and programs that will benefit residents.

One of the most notable announcements was the upcoming Friends of the Library book sale, scheduled for this weekend. The preview sale will take place on Friday from 6 to 8 PM, followed by a public sale on Saturday and Sunday, featuring a variety of books, games, DVDs, and puzzles. A special $5 bag sale will be held on Sunday afternoon, encouraging community participation and support for the library.

In addition, the board addressed new electricity rates under the Empower Millis program. Residents are encouraged to visit the town's website for detailed information on the new rates and options available, which aim to provide cost-effective energy solutions for the community.

The meeting also included an update on the Bridal Middle High School project. The board is awaiting a response from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) regarding their contribution to the project, which will determine the financial responsibilities of the town. A decision is expected within the week, which will provide clarity on the next steps for the school initiative.

Lastly, the Millis Fire Department will host its annual open house on October 5, from 10 AM to 2 PM, inviting residents to learn more about fire safety and engage with local firefighters.

These discussions reflect the Select Board's commitment to enhancing community resources and ensuring residents are informed about important local events and initiatives. As the town awaits further updates on the school project, the board continues to foster community engagement through events like the library sale and fire department open house.
