The next Town Board meeting will be held Tuesday, January 19, at 6:00 p.m. (rescheduled from Monday due to MLK Day), and you're invited to join us!
This meeting will include a Public Hearing for the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Town Budget. And for the first time, you have the opportunity to join and provide feedback at the beginning of the public process.Historically, budget public hearings have been held at the end of the budget process. But, this year, the Town encourages all residents to get involved early. Join us on January 19 and again in June for both public hearings.If you have not already done so, we also invite you to complete our resident survey. Nearly one thousand of your neighbors have shared their thoughts on our budget priorities for the upcoming fiscal year, and we want to hear from you!
