Nantucket Town Meeting 2012

Nantucket’s Annual Town Meeting will be held this spring on Saturday, March 31st from 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM.  If business is not completed in that one day, the meeting will reconvene on Monday, April 2nd.  This is in an effort to increase attendance by those who have not participated in the past.  One of the hottest topics this year is Article 13, a proposal calling for a $3.4 million appropriation to fund the construction of a large wind turbine at the Madaket Landfill.  Other capital expenditures include $6.7 M to renovate and expand the former police station on South Water Street and construction of a bike path along Hummock Pond Road, a project expected to top $3M,  There are also numerous zoning changes this year which we will post on our web site as soon as the Town Warrant is published. Bring your knitting.
