The Town Select Board are once again requesting a vote on a senior center
October 14, 2025 – Ayer, Massachusetts
Following recent defeats over the past few years, the Town is once again seeking to build a new senior center. The last time this vote came out, the Select Board was pushing to have the center built on contaminated land on the spot of a now demolished dry cleaners on West Main Street. The total cost is $15 million dollars. The Select Board have of course recommended its approval as well as the Capital Planning Committee. The Finance Committee voted to not recommend this vote get approved. There are several more pressing issues in Town such as the dilapidated elementary schools in the Ayer-Shirly school district. A two-thirds vote is required for the vote to pass. The meeting starts at 7 pm on October 27 at the Ayer-Shirley Regional High School.
