Town Announces Opening on Board of Assessors

After 10 years as a member of the Board of Assessors, Shaun Fitzgerald announced his resignation this week.

"Shaun has worked very hard for the town and I would like to thank him for his service," Board of Selectmen Chair said. "He’s been serving on the board for 10 years."

With Fitzgerald's resignation, the town is looking for citizens to replace his position on the board.
