July 12 Update From Easton First Selectman Bindelglass

**News Release Submitted by Easton First Selectman Bindelglass**

July 12, 2024

Good afternoon,

We are again looking at above average temperatures. Remember that if you are having trouble coping with the heat, please call the non-emergency number for the police department, (203) 268-4111 and they can advise you about cooling center options. Also, of course, common sense; do not over exert yourself in the heat and stay hydrated.

This week, the conservation commission approved a permit for the work being done on the EMS site at 444 and 448 Sport Hill Rd.

Again, please help yourself to flowers from our beautiful sunflower garden in front of SSES. We want to thank Silverman’s for their time, effort and resources to make these plantings which brighten our town. As you are picking flowers, please consider making a donation to our sister city, Sviatohirsk, at https://ukraineaidinternational.org/easton-sviatohirsk/.
