The Milton Select Board’s November 10, 2026 meeting included a joint discussion with the Planning Board on the draft Housing Production Plan. The plan is still being revised and was not approved; it outlines housing needs, zoning and development strategies, and the goal of reaching the state’s 10% subsidized-housing threshold. The Housing Authority reported that exterior improvements at Miller Avenue are estimated to have risen from about $2.2 million to $2.5 million, with $600,000 from the Affordable Housing Trust and other capital and state funding being pursued. It also described a vacant two-family property at 5 Tucker Street with a potential renovation scope estimated at about $400,000; additional funding was not approved at this meeting. The boards discussed possible future use of town-owned sites and other housing initiatives, but took no procurement or funding action on the housing plan.

The Board approved a license agreement, subject to Town Counsel review, allowing Coastal EMS to use the Chemical Building at 509 Canton Avenue as an ambulance base, and voted to cancel the related request for proposals. It approved a power-purchase agreement and lease agreement with Select Solar for a solar installation at the Milton fire station headquarters, also subject to Town Counsel review. The Board approved the FY2027 stormwater fee, with opposition recorded, and staff said the increase is largely driven by federal stormwater compliance requirements. Staff reported that an RFP for solid-waste, yard-waste, and recycling collection is being prepared, with proposals expected in mid-December and a recommendation targeted for January; a three-to-five-year contract is anticipated, and Casella and other vendors have expressed interest. The Board also approved March 1, 2027, as the date for a special Town Meeting. The Atherton Street fire station project remains in planning, with staff aiming to advance it toward that meeting.
