Maynard Sets Vote Tonight on One-Day Rename to 'MAYEnard' for Super Bowl Sunday

The symbolic gesture aims to honor Patriots quarterback Drake Maye without changing official signage or spending town funds.

Overview

  • The five-member Select Board is slated to consider a proclamation to use the spelling "MAYEnard" only on Sunday, Feb. 8.
  • The vote is scheduled for a public session at 7 p.m. Tuesday, according to the posted agenda.
  • Select Board Chair David Gavin, who launched the effort, said he is confident it will pass and cited strong local enthusiasm.
  • Town Administrator Greg Johnson and Police Chief Chris Troiano said no official signs will be altered and no money will be used for the one-day change.
