Town officials said applications submitted during the previous three years will remain in the current candidate pool. That means some past nominations will still be considered this year.

The Board of Selectmen Town Policies Committee is expected to review the applications and may recommend a recipient to the Board of Selectmen at its May 11, 2026 meeting. If a recipient is selected, that person’s name will be engraved on the Wall of Honor.
