The Special Town Meeting is officially on.

Board of Selectmen prepare for the possibility of a Special Town Meeting.
The Board of Selectmen set a tentative date for a Special Town Meeting and Election later this fall, both of which hinge on an agreement between the Concord Carlisle High School Building Committee and the Massachusetts School Building Authority. If everything goes according to plan, a project scope and budget agreement between the CCHS Building Committee and MSBA is expected to be struck on Wednesday, Sept. 28. If that agreement is reached, the $92.4 million project — and the accompanying 31-percent state reimbursement — would then need to be approved by a Town Meeting vote and a Special Town Election. The reimbursement rate is subject to increase as a result of the schematic design phase. Selectmen will not take an official vote to …
