Selectmen have planned a special town meeting for Nov. 8 at the request of the planning board for residents to vote on two zoning ordinances on wind energy facilities.

The committee will begin its deliberations on the project next year.
u The open house is planned for Tuesday, Nov. 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. on the second floor of town hall. Refreshments will be served.
