Septic Smart Week Tip #1: Think at the Sink! Everything that goes down your drain can affect your septic system. Avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease down the sink, as they can clog pipes and drain fields. Use your garbage disposal sparingly and avoid flushing non-degradable items like wipes, menstrual products, and dental floss. https://youtu.be/fIWoB2QtBvY

Never Forget.

This morning, residents joined the Shrewsbury, MA Police Department and Shrewsbury, MA Fire Department for a solemn remembrance ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. Gathering beside the Police Station's 9/11 Memorial, which features steel columns from Ground Zero, all present paused to honor the lives lost on that day.

Reflecting on the events of the day, Police Chief Kevin Anderson honored the many first responders who laid down their lives in their efforts to save people from the wreckage, answering the call to serve and protect without hesitation. His remarks were a moving reminder of the selflessness and sacrifice required to protect our communities, both on September 11, 2001 and on every day since.

What’s new in Shrewsbury? Check out the key takeaways from last night’s Select Board meeting below:

🗺️ UPDATED ZONING BYLAWS PROGRESS
The Select Board voted to refer proposed bylaw amendments to the Planning Board in order to keep up with emerging land use matters. These bylaw amendments address data storage facilities and data centers, as well as unmanned aerial systems (drones), ensuring our local regulations are up-to-date for these fast-expanding industries.

The Planning Board will review the proposed amendments before hosting two public hearings, in accordance with M.G.L. Chapter 40A, Section 5, for residents to review the details of the proposed updates and share their input. Ultimately, these bylaw amendments will end up on a Special Town Meeting Warrant.

Be sure to keep an eye out for these upcoming public hearings so that you can participate in this process and help shape the future of our community!

🍁 SPIRIT OF SHREWSBURY PARADE
The Select Board approved a road closure request for the Spirit of Shrewsbury Parade on Sunday, September 27, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM. This road closure covers portions of Municipal Drive, Wesleyan Terrace, Maple Avenue, and Oak Street.

🦃 TURKEY TROT FOR THE MEMORY ROAD RACE
The Select Board approved the annual Turkey Trot for the Memory Road Race on November 26, 2026 at 8:00 AM. The race will begin in the vicinity of the First Congregational Church and the Town Common, and will end at the intersection of Loring Avenue and Prospect Street.
