Article of note: A petitioned warrant article asks voters whether they support adopting SB 2 to allow ballot voting on all town issues on the second Tuesday in March. One zoning amendment would reduce the minimum lot size in the Community Business District to a quarter acre; another would change the requirements for accessory dwelling units; and another would change parking requirements. One article asks whether voters support establishing a new default community power rate and another seeks to establish a Community Power Energy Capital Reserve Fund.

Contested races: Two people are vying for a three-year term on the Selectboard: Erik Russell and Benjamin J. Schreiber.

Budgets and spending articles: The proposed general fund budget is $9.46 million, up from $9.4 million last year. A warrant article seeks $2.75 million for improvements to the municipal water system. Another article seeks $100,000 for a watershed management plan for Crystal Lake. Another seeks $579,000 for the Capital Improvement Program Capital Reserve Fund.
