The Town of Bedford Select Board met Jan. 26, 2026, and approved several routine contracts and purchases — including a traffic-signal easement, two police vehicles, a culvert design contract and a sewer-fee deferral — and ratified a new finance director. The board also heard presentations on a Prudent Investor ATM article, a 40Y starter-home overlay petition for 49 Elm St., and proposed job-description updates in the Salary Administration Plan.
