One resident is looking to consolidate "high-interest articles" at the start of the May 5 annual town meeting.

The Marblehead Annual Town Meeting, scheduled for May 4, 2023, may undergo significant changes following a recent vote by the Select Board to explore alternative formats. The traditional in-person meeting at the high school could be replaced with a hybrid or fully remote session, prompted by the need to accommodate more residents and improve accessibility. The decision comes after last year's meeting, which saw a record attendance of 1,200 people, leading to concerns about space and safety. The Select Board has tasked the town administrator with researching options and presenting a recommendation at their next meeting on April 25, 2023. This potential shift aims to enhance civic engagement and ensure that all residents can participate in local governance.
