Committee members reviewed a position statement on the 2025 Special Town Meeting (STM)-
Article 2. In the meeting, the team discussed and agreed on a statement which will be sent to
the Select Board and Kelly Axtell, Deputy Town Manager, for posting on the STM Article 2's web
page. The statement emphasized appreciation for the compromise reached on the final version
of STM Article 2 and the importance of moving forward on a policy that polarized the
community. The statement also upholds the concerns about STM-Article2’ move towards greater
limitations on inclusionary housing and multifamily housing development. Motion to approve
the LHRC position statement on Article2 passed by a vote of 4-0-0
