Select Board - September 8th, 2026

The Milton Select Board meeting on September 8, 2026, included significant discussions on procurement and budget matters. The board approved the sale and related matters for two series of the town's general obligation bonds, with interest rates of 3.43% and 4.39%, to fund projects including fire station improvements and equipment purchases. A major agenda item was the pending purchase of the Laboray College property for $1,750,000, subject to town meeting approval. The board discussed the potential use of the property for a new school, comparing it with the Gile Road project, and outlined the need for further analysis, community engagement, and coordination with the school building committee. The board voted to move forward with the school committee and school building committee to pursue analysis of Laboray as a school site alternative. Additionally, appointments were made to the traffic mitigation subcommittee, and updates were provided on grant applications for traffic calming measures. The meeting also addressed public concerns about traffic safety, surveillance cameras, and community accessibility. The board scheduled future meetings and planned to discuss the Laboray property purchase and related school projects further in upcoming sessions.
