Doors open at 6:30 pm; presentation begins at 7pm. The public is invited to listen, learn and contribute to the conversation about the issue of the use of leaf blowers in our community.
The presentation will explore the reasons to consider regulation, including the effects on human health and the environment. There will also be discussion about the warrant item iteself, including what other towns have done to regulate leaf blowers in various ways.
