Attleboro City Council Meeting 10-27-2026

The Attleboro City Council held a special meeting on October 27, 2026, followed by committee meetings. Procurement and development updates included the mayor’s report that the Finnberg School property had been put out to bid for a fourth time and received two bids, now under review. A zoo request for information (RFI), intended to assess whether an operations-and-management RFP is viable, closes November 16; the city would retain ownership if it proceeds. The council also discussed development and funding activity, including a planned 51-unit mixed-income project at 135 County Street estimated at $38.8 million, with $250,000 in federal HOME funds secured, and a $25,000 downtown sign-and-facade assistance program funded through Thrive Downtown. The completed environmental remediation at 53 Falmouth Street cost $427,000; the property is expected to be auctioned. No new major contract award was approved.
