Longer-form draft.
Two key takeaways from the Danvers Select Board meeting on June 2, 2026: First, looking ahead to 2027, the Select Board is targeting a Special Town Meeting in February to address updates to the town's zoning. Because zoning regulations dictate how land can be used, developed, and managed, these changes can have a major impact on property rights and community character. Residents should prepare to engage with this process as the details become clearer. Second, regarding local licensing, the Board approved 12 one-day wine and malt beverage licenses for Twisted Fate Brewing’s summer concert series. Notably, Member Trask abstained from this vote to avoid a conflict of interest, as they are a member of a band participating in the series. We will continue to track the development of the upcoming zoning discussions to ensure residents have the information they need to participate in the Special Town Meeting. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/danvers/select-board/2026-06-02/ #MeetingWatch #DanversMA
