15 Maple Avenue Municipal Use Designation
At a glance
- What: Article 5 of the draft December 7 warrant would designate 15 Maple Avenue (the former Empire Dry Cleaner property, taken by the town for taxes) for general municipal use.
- Why (per the town manager): more security and protection against adverse possession claims, and moving it from the treasurer-collector to Town Meeting control, so any later sale would need Town Meeting approval.
- Where it stands: draft warrant reviewed by the Select Board on Oct 13, 2026; related to December 2026 Special Town Meeting.
