Annual Town Meeting indefinitely postponed Article 18, a proposed zoning amendment to regulate Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The Select Board and Planning Board both recommended the postponement after a technical ruling from the Moderator narrowed the possibilities for the debate.

Select Board Vice Chair Amy McNab explained that the town had hoped to expand the proposed overlay district town-wide via amendment, but the Moderator ruled that such a change was outside the scope of the original warrant article. The town plans to bring a revised, more comprehensive bylaw to a future town meeting.

Motion: To indefinitely postpone.

Vote: Passed 162-12
