This acquisition was previously approved under Article 25 of the June 1st, 2026 annual town meeting. The board authorized the chair or designee to execute acceptance, settlement statements, and other necessary documents.

Weston Family Artifacts Accepted for Display at Oliver Estate
The Select Board voted to approve the acceptance of the Weston Family Artifacts for display at the Oliver Estate, located at 445 Plymouth Street. This follows a December 15th, 2025 meeting where the donation of three artifacts, including original portraits of Thomas and Abigail Weston and an original fireback, was approved. A ceremony with the family will be planned.
Battery Storage Project Tax Agreement Discussion Highlights Safety and Financial Concerns
The Select Board discussed a proposed battery tax agreement on Jericho Road for Kearsage Energy. The agreement involves a shared savings model where MGED and its customers would save 35% on energy costs, with Kearsage receiving 65% of the savings. Concerns were raised regarding potential hazards like hydrofluoric acid emissions in case of fire, noise levels, and the lack of a comprehensive environmental impact study or ZBA review. The board decided to postpone the vote to gather more information, including a letter of support from MGED and details from the fire department. The agreement includes a 2.5% annual escalator on the tax payment.
Richard Young Reappointed to Council on Aging Board of Directors
The Select Board voted to reappoint Richard Young to the Council on Aging (COA) Board of Directors for a three-year term ending June 30th, 2029. The reappointment was supported by his letter detailing his years of service and recognized for his valuable knowledge and commitment. One member abstained due to his wife working at the COA. The vote passed with two 'Aye' votes, one 'Nay' vote (implied from discussion), and one abstention.
Luciano Excavation Inc. Awarded Stony Brook Pond Dam Improvement Project for $1.23 Million
