Attleboro City Council Meeting 10-06-2026

At the October 6, 2026, Attleboro City Council meeting, the council held hearings on Honored Lumber Company’s application to store 1,000 gallons of flammable liquids, two Class 2 auto-dealer applications, and National Grid’s proposed underground utility work. The lumber company described safety measures for its planned facility; the online-only auto-sales hearing was continued to October 20. The mayor submitted several spending requests for committee review, including $3.47 million in state grant funds for repairs to the Pettus Avenue Bridge, $40,800 in Massachusetts Cultural Council funds, a $27,553 wastewater-fund transfer for damaged ductwork, and a $60,000 transfer for treasurer legal services. Funding for two collective bargaining agreements was also referred for review; these requests were not reported as approved during the meeting.

The council approved a Verizon underground telecommunications conduit petition and several finance items, including payment of $41,339.24 in prior-year school bills, a $50 transfer to pay a collector’s association invoice, and a $193.74 transfer for treasurer’s office supplies. It also accepted several donations, including an ice-rescue sled valued at $3,800. The council considered an ordinance that would require applicants to pay newspaper-publication costs for license and permit hearings; the transcript does not capture the vote outcome. No contract awards or vendor selections were identified.
