The warrant for Wellesley’s October 25th Special Town Meeting (STM) warrant has been signed and posted. The warrant contains 11 articles on subjects such as funding for construction of both a new Hunnewell Elementary School and John D. Hardy Elementary School (articles 2 & 3); the transfer of three already-acquired Worcester Street parcels to the land area of Hardy School, to be placed “under the care, custody, and control of the School Committee for school purposes…” (article 4); rezoning two Washington Street parcels from residential to business (article 11); and more.
Perhaps even more exciting than the warrant articles themselves is that the Monday, October 25th, 7pm STM is planned to take place in-person at Wellesley Middle School. This could change to a remote platform, depending on whether there is an increase in COVID-19 infections, but for now the plan is for everyone to show up, masked-up. (Update: The meeting will be online only after all.)
Residents can weigh in on the articles before they get to STM.
The Planning Board will meet on September 13, 6:30pm, via a public Zoom meeting, to hash out the Zoning Articles under consideration.
The Advisory Committee will meet on Wednesday, September 22, 6:30pm, via a public Zoom meeting, to discuss all the warrant articles.
