Fitchburg Posts Tourism Destination Marketing District Declaration, Extends Landfill Sticker Deadline
FITCHBURG — The city has posted a formal Notice of Declaration for the organization of the Fitchburg Tourism Destination Marketing District, the most significant item from town hall this cycle, as city offices simultaneously extended landfill sticker deadlines and alerted residents to voting location changes.
TOWN HALL
Fitchburg has posted a Notice of Declaration for the organization of the Fitchburg Tourism Destination Marketing District. The notice appears on the city's official homepage at fitchburgma.gov; residents and business owners with a stake in how the city promotes itself to visitors should review the full document there.
Residents who missed the earlier landfill sticker deadline have more time: an emergency alert currently posted at the top of fitchburgma.gov confirms that yearly landfill stickers are now valid through September 30. No additional steps beyond obtaining the sticker appear to be required.
The city has also published a notice of voting location changes — posted on the homepage in Spanish as "Cambios en el Lugar de Votación" — indicating that at least one polling place assignment has been updated. Residents are urged to verify their current polling location at fitchburgma.gov before the next scheduled election.
Updated information on the ongoing Intown Downtown infrastructure project is also available on the town website.
SCHOOLS
Fitchburg Public Schools has published the final fiscal year 2027 budget book on the district website at fitchburg.k12.ma.us, giving residents, families, and staff access to the district's approved spending plan for the school year beginning fall 2026. The district has also posted a notice of intent to shred student records; anyone with questions about specific documents should contact the district at fpsquestions@fitchburg.k12.ma.us or 978-345-3200 before materials are destroyed.
