Town meeting will be held on May 11, 2026. To better prepare voters for this important event, OCF’s April 30 forum hosted a discussion on two key articles in the Town Meeting Warrant.

• Article 17 authorizes borrowing up to $60 million for the construction of a new Fire/Rescue Station. The panel will include Fire Chief Geof Deering, Select Board Chair Kevin Galligan, and Finance Committee member John Cooper.
• Article 25 provides for funding $2.7 million toward preliminary expenses on Phase 4 of Orleans’ ongoing sewer project. The panel will include DPW and Natural Resources Director Richard J. Waldo, Kevin Galligan, representing the Wastewater Management Advisory Committee, and Finance Committee member David Abel.
