This spring, Reading residents will have two significant opportunities to shape the future of their town: the Annual Town Meeting begins Monday, April 28, and the Special Election is scheduled for Tuesday, May 13. These events will help determine the fate of key capital projects and investments that affect residents across all ages.

As Reading prepares for Town Meeting and critical decisions about the town’s future, Finance Committee Chair Joe Carnahan has shared a detailed letter outlining the upcoming budget, major financial considerations, and long-term planning challenges.

Reading’s love for pickleball is potentially about to get a big upgrade. With the popularity of the sport soaring across the country - and right time here at home - the Town of Reading is preparing to create a new, purpose-built, pickleball complex at Symonds Way/Range Road. Article 14, which seeks funding approval for the project, will be considered at the upcoming Town Meeting.
