Normally held in mid-June, this year, the Machias Town Meeting will take place in July, following a conversation at last week’s meeting of the budget committee. 

“The selectboard, budget committee, director of finance, and myself unanimously agreed to push the meeting into July to have more time to gather more information about revenues, valuation, and growth, and to take another line-by-line examination of every dollar,” said town manager Bill Kitchen.

The town elections will still take place on Tuesday, June 13.
