Our April monthly business meeting guests covered timely topics of interest to Lexington residents.
Maggie Peard the Sustainability & Resilience Officer for the Town of Lexington
Waste costs are rising, the definitions of “trash” are changing, and trash incineration is contributing to our changing climate. At our April 24th meeting, members of Town staff will give a presentation about Lexington’s current waste collection system and strategies the Waste Reduction Task Force is exploring to lower costs and reduce waste while still meeting the community’s needs. This presentation is part of a series of forums the task force is hosting to hear feedback from Lexington residents, so please feel free to share your thoughts after the presentation. You can learn more about this effort at lexingtonma.gov/ZeroWaste.
At 8:00 PM Kathleen Lenihan discussed the new Lexington high school project, to help inform us about this important capital project that town residents will be voting on in 2025. She is well versed in the history, facts, and details of building a new high school, including both the pros and the cons that residents are discussing. www.Yes4Lex.org
