Board of Selectmen · Meeting of November 2, 2026
Freetown selectmen banned parking on South Main Street and awarded $62,685 in Marie's Way paving. The Board of Selectmen approved a no-parking zone on both sides from the Four Corners to the Route 24 ramp, citing a narrow road and emergency vehicle access. Bandon Paving LLC won the Marie's Way work, the low bid among six.
The board picked J.M. Booth and Associates of New Bedford for the Historic Village Schoolhouse feasibility study, accepted a $300 Lions Club donation, and set holiday hours, with the Highway Department closing at 11 a.m. Dec. 24. Members also approved a 12-key register for the transfer station and declared nine window air conditioners surplus.
A member noted the town would "actually pay to get rid of them" because of the refrigerant.
