Dear Shrewsbury Voter,
Shrewsbury is holding a Special Election on February 4th, 2025 from 2:00-8:00 p.m. Voters will be asked to confirm or rescind a vote that was taken by Town Meeting Members at Town Meeting on November 18, 2024. At that time TM Members voted to accept Article 9 by a vote of 123 to 50. Since then a group of concerned residents have solicited the 1349 signatures necessary to ask that this decision be brought before all registered voters for their consideration. The details of Article 9 are comprehensive, they describe the conditions necessary for cities and towns to comply with M.G.L. Chapter 40A Section 3A (MBTA communities Zoning Law). Information surrounding this law is extensive, with varying and justifiable opinions on all sides. All voters will receive a mailing explaining the consequences of a YES or NO vote. The result of your Vote on February 4th will have significant impact on our Town. I encourage you to become engaged, ask questions and then cast your vote for what you believe is best for Shrewsbury.
Respectfully,
Carol McWilliams
Shrewsbury
