The 30-second brief
122 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Town of Shirley's meetings, most in grants and transportation. The latest, from Oct 27: The agenda listed a warrant article for the Fall Special Town Meeting asking for an appropriation for the Shirley Trail Signs and Kiosks Project, with a letter of support. This is a funding trigger, not an award, and it points to a future trail wayfinding and kiosk buildout if the town meeting backs it. The next real decision point is the special town meeting vote.
