Select Board and School Committee Schedule Rare Joint Meeting for June 30
The town's library is gearing up for a packed week of programming while residents can expect ongoing mosquito-control operations through July — the two most concrete takeaways from a relatively quiet Friday in town.
TOWN HALL
Tewksbury has scheduled Central Mass Mosquito Control for multiple visits through the end of July, with dates set for July 1, 7, 13, 16, 22, and 28. The town noted that all dates are subject to change depending on weather conditions. Residents who have raised concerns about mosquito activity this season can expect regular response through the summer months.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, the Select Board and School Committee are holding a joint special meeting on June 30 — a notable pairing of the town's two most consequential governing bodies. No agenda details were available from public sources at press time, but residents can watch for updates on the town's calendar at tewksbury-ma.gov.
The town's website also reminded residents that dog licensing for 2026 is ongoing, and that the 250th Independence Day celebration and festivities are on the horizon.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
The Tewksbury Public Library has 16 programs lined up for the week of June 28, highlighted by an outdoor concert on Sunday, June 29, and a football history program on Monday, June 30. Residents can register for in-person and virtual events through the library's online calendar at tewksburypl.org or by calling 978-640-4490.
