On Monday November 30 approximately 1000 people attended the special town meeting at the Weston High School Auditorium. The turn out was likely the biggest for a special town meeting ever but certainly in the last 20 years. Residents forwent the Patriots game to come in participate primarily on whether to appropriate an additional $350,000 for more studies on what to do with the Josiah Smith Tavern, Old Library buildings in the center of town. The Committee charged with the task appointed by the Selectmen had thought to house a restaurant with a 175 capacity in the Barn/Connector section of the Josiah Smith Tavern. The Townspeople voted 435 to 545 against further appropriation as proposed.
Additionally funds to study a new Science Wing at the High School passed with a 2/3 majority.
