Longer-form draft.
During the May 22 Select Board meeting, several key issues affecting Lexington residents were addressed, ranging from school infrastructure to upcoming policy shifts. First, the Board responded to public concerns regarding the Lexington High School construction timeline. Residents raised questions about delays in MEPA environmental impact filings and the length of Conservation Commission hearings, seeking clarity on how these delays might impact the budget and the start date. Officials stated that ground preparation and fence installation are expected to begin on July 6. Additionally, the Board began discussing a new state ruling that would allow towns to opt out of recreational cannabis delivery services. Because Lexington does not permit retail cannabis sales, the town has the option to request a waiver to prevent delivery services from entering the community. To balance concerns regarding public health and local enforcement against the needs of residents with disabilities, the Board has delayed a vote until June 15 to allow for more extensive public input and consultation with advisory bodies like the Board of Health. Finally, the Board approved a $2,103,000 financial assistance agreement and sewer bond to fund ongoing sewer line replacements and catch basin improvements throughout the town. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lexington/select-board/2026-05-22/ #MeetingWatch #LexingtonMA
