As we ready for Town Meeting, the Town will be presenting information every day on different warrant articles.


2022 Town Meeting Warrant

Article 17 – Revolving Fund Spending Limits

Every year Town Meeting authorizes the Town’s revolving accounts and sets spending limits for those accounts.  A revolving fund separately accounts for specific revenues and earmarks them for expenditure by a board or officer without appropriation for particular purposes to support the activity, program or service that generated the revenues.  Town Meeting authorizes the revolving account, its use, and how much can be spent from the account each year.

Submit Your Questions Regarding the Royal Crest Project

Submit Your Questions Regarding the Royal Crest Project

As many residents are aware, Articles 28 and 29 of the Town Meeting Warrant address amending the Town's Zoning Bylaw and Map to make way for the redevelopment of the Royal Crest Estates property on Route 114.  Over the last year and a half, there have been several public meetings about the proposed project before the Planning Board, Select Board, and other public bodies.  Click here to learn more about this project.

As a way of summarizing all of the information about the proposed redevelopment of Royal Crest for residents, the Town Manager, other Town Staff, and the Chairs of the Select Board and Planning Board will provide a presentation that will be broadcast by North Andover CAM starting later next week.  If you have any questions about the project that you would like the Town Manager to address as part of the presentation, please submit them by Monday, May 9 at noon to: royalcrestproject@northandoverma.gov  

We appreciate that many people may want to submit comments, but please note that we are only taking questions ahead of this presentation.  Thank you for your participation and we look forward to providing as much information as we can to residents about this project ahead of Town Meeting.

MASTER PLAN MONDAY – May 2, 2022

Sarah Brush
Just to recap:

North Andover does not currently have sufficient space to meet the needs of our students or Town employees.

AT A MINIMUM, ALL elementary school children should have access to a library, gym, and a cafeteria/meeting space.

In addition, this plan will bring schools in compliance with ADA and other health and safety codes.

Each project will be presented individually at Town Meeting for approval of design, and approval for construction. At Town Meeting on May 17, 2022, the North Andover Middle School and the Kittredge Elementary School design costs will be presented for vote.
