BHS Building Committee Holds Meeting for Abutters

February 28, 2025

A special meeting was held by The Burlington High School Building Committee the evening of February 26, in order to hear from abutters to the potential project.

The meeting opened with an overview on the five designs still in consideration by the committee, and was then followed by public participation. Many abutters expressed concerns over potential flooding, noise, and tax increases. School Committee Chair Christine Monaco took a moment to express how the support of residents within the immediate area of BHS will ultimately determine the fate of a new high school.

You can watch the full meeting below, with comments from Monaco and the public. The Committee is expected to hold another meeting for abutters in the coming weeks.
