Lenox, Massachusetts, will hold its annual town meeting tonight.

Board of Selectmen chair Dave Roche says this year, the meeting will be largely administrative — dealing primary with the town budget of just under $30 million, which he says is an increase from previous years. For now, a pair of hot button issues will remain off the table.

“We were going to tackle marijuana and short-term rentals, but the planning board didn’t have those ready in time,” said Roche.

Those issues will be dealt with at the next Lenox town meeting in November.
