Residents will have an opportunity to lean about and discuss several front-and-center Lincoln issues at the State of the Town meeting on Saturday, Nov. 14 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Brooks auditorium. Agenda items will be:
- A status report on Ballfield Road campus planning efforts, incorporating information presented at the Campus Mater Planning Committee forum on October 17.
- A general discussion of medical marijuana distribution and cultivation. There is no specific proposal on the table, but town officials have had informal talks (though not recently) with New England Wellspring, which is looking into locating facilities in one or more towns including Lincoln.
- A preview of contemplated zoning bylaw amendments.
- A discussion on the merits of installing solar power collection equipment at the closed Lincoln landfill adjacent to the transfer station.
- A status report on Minuteman Regional High School’s proposed new building project.
- A segment devoted to open discussion.
The morning will also include a very brief Special Town Meeting to vote on a proposed bylaw amendment that would ensure that Lincoln’s Annual Town Meeting always occurs in advance of its Annual Town Election.
The Lincoln Squirrel will have more information on some of these topics in the coming weeks.
