Annual Town Meeting Warrant - Published Online & Mailed in February 20, 2026 Edition of the Concord Bridge

Continued from 2025! The Annual Town Meeting Warrant will be published as an insert in the Concord Bridge and online on the Town's website. This version of the Warrant looks different than it has in the past, with it being a "condensed" version without Warrant Article explanations and other supplemental information, as part of an initiative introduced by the 2025 Town Meeting Study Committee to a) get the Warrant itself out as soon as possible once the Warrant closes and b) produce an Annual Town Meeting Briefing Book.
