The Acton Select Board meeting on September 8, 2025, opened with a moment of remembrance for Barbara Wilson, a dedicated member of the Council on Aging who recently passed away. Wilson, who held a doctorate in gerontology, was recognized for her significant contributions to the community, particularly her work on the senior center building committee.

Town Manager's updates highlighted the upcoming September 11 ceremony at the public safety facility, urging residents to arrive early for the moving event. He also expressed gratitude for the community's patience during ongoing roadwork, specifically noting the completion of the Prospect Street and Main Street intersection project, which has improved safety with a new traffic pattern. Major projects in Kelly's Corner and Powder Mill will continue into the fall, with hopes of substantial completion before winter.

In other discussions, the school committee is advancing its AB Forward strategic planning initiative, with a focus on analyzing summer data to inform future recommendations. Additionally, the finance committee showcased reports from college interns on various financial topics, which are available for viewing on Acton TV.

Lastly, a reminder was given about an immigration education forum scheduled for September 9 at Great Road Church, featuring an immigration attorney and resources for understanding rights related to immigration.
