Residents of Lyman will vote on three binding local referendum questions.

Article 3 asks residents if they wish to approve  $1.8 million to renovate the former Cousens School, with the intent of using the building for town offices. An approval of the question would authorize the town to borrow around $1.6 million and use about $200,000 from the town’s reserve fund. This vote replaces a February vote that approved about $1.1 million to renovations to fund the renovations.

Article 4 asks residents if they want to change the town’s definition of a professional office.

Article 5 asks residents whether professional offices should be a permitted use in the residential district requiring site plan review by the planning board in addition to any other required permits.

Residents will also be asked five “straw vote” questions regarding retail marijuana. These are not legally binding and are being used to gather information.

Article 6, the first straw vote question, asks residents if they favor prohibiting any and all retail marijuana stores.

Article 7, the next straw vote question, asks residents if they favor prohibiting any and all retail marijuana cultivation facilities.

Article 8, the third straw vote question, asks residents if they favor prohibiting any and all retail marijuana product manufacturing facilities.

Article 9, the fourth straw vote question, asks residents if they favor prohibiting any and all retail marijuana testing facilities.

Article 10, the fifth straw vote question, asks residents if they favor prohibiting retail marijuana social club facilities.
