Article 15 seeks the funding to replace about 9,170 square feet of roofing at North Intermediate School.

Article 21 relates to the former Yentile Farm property located at 9 Cross Street. The town now owns the land, and residents will be asked to approve a sum of money for the completion of the design and cost estimates for development of the land.

Article 36 would amend the zoning bylaws related to the regulations of medical marijuana dispensaries that may open in Wilmington.
