SUDBURY — The Liberty Ledge-Sewataro Advisory Committee weighed whether Sudbury could legally offer Camp Sewataro's operator a 30-year agreement. A town counsel opinion dated August 25, 2026 found a longer-term deal would require both a new town meeting vote and a new RFP, since the camp's current contract runs three years plus two five-year extensions. Members began drafting recommendations for a designated town staff role to oversee the property, Sudbury-resident priority enrollment, and a sliding, income-based camp fee scale.
Camp liaison Kirsten Drummey said roughly 530 of the camp's 1,250 campers are now Sudbury residents, calling it "a year to year increase." Members also discussed converting a house at 213 Haynes Road into town-managed affordable housing and a temporary hold on new land disturbance pending soil, septic and ADA studies. The committee approved its July 30 minutes 6-0 and confirmed an October 8 public input session at the Fairbank Center.
