St. Patrick's Day Parade is Today

ABINGTON - April 7, 2026 - The Abington Select Board took a major step toward modernizing town infrastructure on Tuesday night, voting unanimously to authorize over $45 million in bond anticipation notes. The bulk of the borrowing, approximately $38.5 million, is earmarked for the town’s landmark joint Fire Station and Department of Public Works (DPW) project. In addition to the major financial moves, the Board abruptly terminated a land sale agreement for property on Brockton Avenue, with officials citing a desire to restart a “murky” bidding process to ensure taxpayers receive the highest possible return on the land.
