Governance committee recommended returning Swansea to an in-person town meeting (SB2 repeal) and the select board voted to place the recommendation on the 2026 warrant; the board authorized emergency heating and related change orders for the new fire station, approved pavement and small equipment purchases, heard a property takings complaint about 3 North Winchester, considered a Federal Aid amendment for Winchester Street, and spent much of the meeting reviewing the draft 2026 budget and TIF-dissolution timing.
