Select Board forms safety building, bylaw committees

Select Board · Meeting of November 2, 2026

TYNGSBOROUGH — The Tyngsborough Select Board established a public safety building committee and a bylaw review committee. Both votes were 5-0-0. The board amended the building committee's charge to seat five resident at-large members, with 13 voting members and the assistant town manager and DPW superintendent as ex officio, non-voting members.

Applications for the resident seats are due Dec. 7 at 5 p.m. The vote on acquiring 100 Potash Hill Road is Dec. 5. Town Manager Colin Loiselle outlined affordability options, noting the current $12.99 tax rate per $1,000 of assessed value, and said "this board could choose to get this rate as low as it would like." The board will choose among those options Nov. 16.

It also approved a liquor and entertainment license transfer for Duo Jia Inc. at 440 Middlesex Road, with 11 p.m. closing hours seven days a week.
