The Special fall Town Meeting was held on Tuesday, October 25, 2022 at the Longmeadow High School. There were 346 registered voters in attendance. All 26 articles were approved in less than 3 hours. Electronic voting was used and the meeting visuals were significantly improved with the addition of 6 - 85” LCD TV screens to show both the vote counts and presentations. A huge thank you to the many volunteers, town and school staff and the Key Club students who helped make this meeting a success. The date for the Annual Town Meeting is May 9, 2023.
