The Annual Town Meeting convenes to consider and vote on the Town's budget for the coming fiscal year, to vote on major issues such as zoning reform brought by leadership, and to consider any citizen petitions/articles that have been filed for the Spring warrant.
Meeting in Brookline High School Auditorium at 7 pm for 2–8 nights, the annual Town Meeting is when we consider and vote on the budget for the next fiscal year. This year, that follows the successful vote for a $23 million operating override (over three years). Spring 2026 will also see votes on a major commercial development package for Chestnut Hill.
