Town Manager Michael King told the Select Board on Nov. 4 that the Nov. 3 special Town Meeting acted on 10 articles, all of which passed, including approval of a new public‑works facility and MBTA Communities‑act compliant zoning. Meeting results and materials have been posted on the town website and social media.
King also reported that the King Philip Regional School District has been invited to participate in the Massachusetts School Building Authority’s accelerated repair program for potential roof replacements and heat‑pump conversions at the high school and middle school, with the MSBA indicating it may reimburse about 51% of eligible costs. The district has not yet provided a schematic‑design cost estimate; King said the district plans to use excess and deficiency funds for design if available, or to request funding at member towns’ spring 2026 meetings if needed.
King closed with calendar items and an announcement that town offices will close briefly for an employee recognition event next week.
