Yarmouth Special Town Meeting Indefinitely Postpones Library Construction Article

Yarmouth's Special Town Meeting on Wednesday ended with its marquee item off the table: the article calling for library construction was indefinitely postponed, halting a project that had drawn enough citizen interest to trigger a special meeting in the first place.

TOWN HALL

Residents who gathered for the June 24 Special Town Meeting voted to indefinitely postpone the article concerning library construction, according to a town News Flash posted Wednesday evening. The Select Board had convened the special meeting following a citizen petition, executing the warrant at its May 20 session. With an indefinite postponement, the library construction question carries no set timeline for return — residents would need to wait for a future town meeting warrant to revisit it.

A Zoning Board of Appeals meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 25, and a Planning Board meeting follows on July 1.
