Voters spent three-and-a-half hours debating 10 articles during Wednesday night’s session of annual town meeting, the third night in a row residents convened at the high school to do the town’s business.

Approved were the Community Preservation Committee projects – $49,770 for the Hull Community Garden on George Washington Boulevard; $26,825 for the Hull Lifesaving Museum’s Windmill Point Boathouse; $670,000 for the Hull Village Playground; $150,000 for renovations to the clocktower building next door to the Paragon Carousel; $45,197 for the preservation of historic town records; and $500,000 for the Community Housing Trust – and two citizens’ petitions that called for the town to record governmental meetings and make them available in hybrid format.

Voters also repealed a 2018 town meeting vote that authorized the select board to transfer land in the Hull Redevelopment Authority area as part of a proposed traffic reconfiguration project.

Town meeting will reconvene on Thursday night at 7 p.m., with 14 articles remaining, including additional funding for the town hall relocation project, changes to the Flexible Plan Development and Nantasket Beach Overlay District zoning bylaws, and action on preserving public access to the beach at James Avenue, among other topics.
