Here is a selection of the committee and board meetings for the week along with selected highlights from the agendas. All these meetings are open to the public, so you’re welcome to stop on by.
But one committee is especially extending a public invitation. The Green Technology and Recycling Committee asked me to encourage the public to attend their meeting this Thursday evening. They will be learning about what’s entailed in the town becoming a “Green Community.” (Scroll down to the Thursday meeting for details.)
Be aware that changes to the meeting schedule are known to happen throughout the week. For a complete list of meetings, visit the town website.
