Select Board approves Eldridge Parkway purchase pact

Select Board · Meeting of October 28, 2026

Orleans Select Board approved a $600,000 purchase agreement for 0.48 acres at 48 Eldridge Parkway. The board authorized its chair to sign agreements with Orleans Dental Trust LLC under Article 16 of the May 11 town meeting, with closing expected before year's end. Members appointed Taylor Fox to the Cultural District Committee, 4-0, for a term ending June 30, 2029.

They also said they will not back Article 19 on 44 Main Street at the fall town meeting, and a staff member called the $50,000 voted in spring a placeholder with no defined purpose. Officials said a shared-recreation pilot with Brewster could begin in January, and that winter programs are "ready to go."
