Sudbury Voters Approve Security for Town Buildings, Schools; Reject More Booze

SUDBURY, MA—Sudbury residents gave the nod to funding for updated security on public buildings, including Lincoln-Sudbury High School, and approved an overhead pole structure study at Monday night's Special Town Meeting.

Approval of article 3 gave the OK to allocating $95,000 for security cameras and electronic locks at the Flynn Building, Fairbank Community Center and the public schools in town. Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School will see an upgrade to its security cameras, thanks to an approval of $150,000 (Article 4)

Voters approved six of the seven warrant articles, defeating article 6, which was a proposal to grant an all-alcohol license not to be drunk on the premises. Article 6, if it passed, would have allowed Eastbrook at the Sudbury Crossing Shopping Center to sell all-alcohol. Currently it only has a malt beverage and wine license.

Here are the results:

• Article 1: Street Acceptance – Trevor Way, Passed by Well More Than a Majority
• Article 2: DPW Rolling Stock Replacement, Passed by Well More Than a Majority
• Article 3: Town and School Security and Access Controls, Passed by Well More Than a Majority
• Article 4: Security System Upgrade (CCTV System) – Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, Passed by Well More Than a Majority
