At Thursday night’s meeting, Town Planner Ken Buckland read a letter from Bowen to the board. Bowen wrote that, following extensive discussion with various state officials, he came to the conclusion that the district required approval by two-thirds of voters.
If the district was passed by a simple majority at Saturday’s Town Meeting, Bowen said he was confident the Attorney General’s office would overturn the decision.

Members of the Wareham Redevelopment Authority discuss the proposed Littleton Drive housing complex.
Wareham’s limited sewer capacity could be a hurdle developer Pennrose might face when constructing its proposed 93-unit housing complex at Littleton Drive, according to discussion at a Jan. 7 Wareham Redevelopment Authority meeting.
In October 2020, the town’s limited sewer capacity caused Wareham’s Sewer Commissioners to implement a nine-month moratorium on new connections. An inability to connect to the town sewer system would likely complicate Pennrose’s plans to construct a complex that would include 44 affordable one-bedroom senior units (for those aged 62+) and 49 non-age restricted rental units for families and people in the workforce.
