Residents Approve Several Items at Annual Town Meeting

Tewksbury residents approved several items, including the operating budget, during a lightly attended Annual Town Meeting.

The Lowell Sun reported that an operating budget of $91.9 million was approved unanimously, with a crowd of around 150 people in attendance.

Also approved, according to The Sun, was the use of $329,000 from the Sewer Enterprise fund for equipment and station upgrades, $875,000 from the Water Enterprise Fund for equipment, $116,968 from the Stabilization Fund for equipment and $1,650,000 to replace the waterline on Clark Road and Crest Road.

Special Town Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday night at 8 p.m. During that meeting, residents will be asked to approve 12 articles along with one that was originally scheduled to take place Monday.

The article pushed back until Wednesday is for an $825,000 transfer to pay for Town Hall renovations. Bids are scheduled to arrive in on Tuesday for the project, which led to the the delay in the vote.
