During the 2020 Annual Town Meeting, held in June, officials passed over warrant articles to conduct essential business only with the intent of having an additional (or a "Special") Town Meeting to address the remaining articles.  The meeting was conducted in a drive-in style, held in the parking lot of Monument Mountain Regional High School ("MMRHS").  The Selectboard voted in July to hold that Special Town Meeting on September 15, at 6 PM, to address the remaining zoning bylaw and financial articles as well as citizen petitions.  All relevant information about the Special Town Meeting will be posted here. Please continue to check this page for updates. 

The September 15, 2020, Special Town Meeting will again be conducted in a drive-in style in the parking lot of MMRHS.  Voters planning to participate must enter the MMRHS driveway on Route 7 and proceed to the main high school entrance area.  There, they will be checked in and given their Special Town Meeting warrant, supporting documentation, and colored voting card. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM, and check-in will begin at 5:00 PM.  Participants will be able to follow as all audio will be broadcast locally on 90.5 FM.  There will also be additional lighting set up in the parking lot.
