Town Government

Rochester governs itself by open town meeting, with a three-member Select Board — Paul Ciaburri (Chair), Bradford Morse (Vice-Chair) and Adam Murphy (Clerk) — and an appointed Town Administrator. Agendas, minutes and the town calendar are at townofrochestermass.com, and our Town Meetings page explains how to make your voice count.
