Public hearing held on Tremont ballot question for Deer Management Plan
Summary
Select Board Chair Jamie Thurlow opened and closed a public hearing on April 6 on the May 11, 2026 ballot question asking whether Tremont voters shall adopt a Deer Management Plan to allow deer hunting in town; public comment was heard and no board action was taken.
Select Board Chair Jamie Thurlow opened a public hearing at 5:02 p.m. on April 6 to allow public debate of Article C on the May 11, 2026 secret ballot: a proposed Deer Management Plan that would allow deer hunting in Tremont. The board listened to public comment on the draft plan and closed the hearing at 5:48 p.m. No action was taken by the Select Board at the meeting; the question will proceed to the May 11 ballot for voter consideration.
The hearing provided a formal opportunity for residents and other attendees to speak for or against the ballot article. The Select Board did not vote on the plan itself or take any binding action during the public hearing; minutes indicate only that public comment was heard. The board’s procedural role at this meeting was to host the hearing and record public input prior to the town’s upcoming referendum.
The next formal step for the Deer Management Plan is the May 11, 2026 secret ballot referendum. The Select Board did not set any further board-level action on the plan at the April 6 meeting.
