As you know, our efforts to respond to COVID-19 often require different policies and guidance from town to town, state to state, or even country to country as we look at where each community stands with respect to the trajectory of the pandemic and tailor our response to meet each community’s needs.

This evening, you may receive or may have already received a Wireless Emergency Alert via the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).

Early in-person voting takes place all week during regular Town Hall business hours in Upper Town. Several Board / Committee meetings are planned for the coming week.
