Orleans Town Meetings
What’s happening in Orleans government this week — Select Board, Planning Board, Finance Committee, Board of Health, Conservation, and more. Show up. Speak up. This is how Orleans has governed itself since 1797.
Orleans runs on Town Meeting and on the boards and committees that carry the town’s business between meetings — the purest form of self-government in America, where residents, not politicians, set the budget and make the rules. The meetings below are open to the public. The single most effective thing any resident can do is walk into the room.
