The 2015 Annual Town Meeting in Plainfield had the highest turnout in the memory of anyone present, and the meeting had to be relocated to the church in order to accommodate everyone. Of the 168 registered voters present, 164 voted in favor of the appropriation and borrowing authorization. One week later, in a special referendum election, 134 of the 144 ballots cast were in favor of approving a debt exclusion for this borrowing.
