RECAP TOWN COUNCIL MEETING – DECEMBER 20TH

This is a summary of what took place Tuesday night at the Town Council meeting.  This new Council seems to have the community’s best interest at heart.  The Council displayed “common sense” in their decisions and allowed input from the audience before voting.  This provides a slimmer of hope this year.
