Winchester schedules town meeting on four property sales and authorizes developer solicitations for Wallins Hill
Summary
After executive session the board unanimously scheduled a Jan. 20, 2026 town meeting to consider the sale of four town properties and authorized Town Manager Paul Harrington to request proposals from named developers for Wallins Hill redevelopment (RFQ/RFP submission date referenced as Feb. 1).
Following an executive session on Dec. 15, Winchester’s Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to schedule a town meeting on Jan. 20 at 6 p.m. to consider the proposed sale of four properties (508 Main St., 516 Main St., 30 High St., and 52 White St.).
At the same session the board authorized the town manager to solicit proposals from named developers for the Wallins Hill property. The motion named several development firms (Stoneleaf/Garamel Development Group and Carabetta Development among those listed in the motion) and referenced an RFQ/RFP submission date of Feb. 1 in the package language. The board recorded unanimous approval for both actions.
The transcript shows the board returned from executive session at about 9:13 p.m., moved to schedule the town meeting and then passed a separate motion authorizing proposal solicitations for Wallins Hill; the meeting record does not provide details of the terms, evaluation criteria, or minimum prices to be considered at the Jan. 20 town meeting.
Next steps: The town will place the property‑sale articles on the Jan. 20 town‑meeting warrant and circulate RFQ/RFP materials to the named developers with the stated submission window. Additional public notice and documentation is expected as the town meeting warrant is posted.
