MATTAPOISETT — A special Town Election will be held on July 27 to fill the Select Board position left by the death of John DeCosta last month.
DeCosta’s term would have ended on Town Election day in 2023. The winner of the July 27 election will serve the rest of that term.
“Having, a year ago, operated with two members on the board for six months … it’s absolutely something that has to be done,” Board Chair Paul Silva said.
