Machias residents can expect to elect town officials and act on a 2024-‘25 budget warrant at the annual town meeting sometime in September.

That’s according to Town Manager Bill Kitchen, following a special town meeting on May 20, at which a handful of residents authorized town officials to spend an amount “not to exceed” up to three months of the budget approved last year for the current fiscal year. The current fiscal year began on July 1, 2023, and ends on June 30.
